Though I don't propose preventing people from fast, I find this statement preposterous. In any case, I hope they do their "learning' and skill set development around you and not me. speed minimally-qualified be now. I
I said 85 mph, just as an example of how a high speed, no matter how unreasonable, will encourage some poeple to drive that fast. I do not challenge the 85th percentile necessarily, though I think it may be too fast in some instances and places - around schools, for example, in construction areas.
You've REALLY had that experience? When?
I don't think most drivers are terrible,
I think you are right in the larger sense. But I measure people by the very high standard that I set for myself. I see drivers cutting in and out all the time; driving with far less than a three-second gap between them and the vehicle in front, constantly relying on their brakes to avoid plowing into someone; talking on cell phones and eating. I see too many people driving what I would consider way too fast on ice and snow, much faster than me in my four-wheel-drive Explorer who even consider. (And they are not only SUVS)
I see tons of cars and trucks driving with snow and ice piled high on their roofs, tons of little potholes cut though the windshield snow because the driver was too lazy to scrap anything and nothing scraped off the back windshield. I always see drivers speeding around curves until the g-forces reach a point that they have to apply the brakes. They do this on dry roads and wet roads. I see acts of road rage all the time, drivers honking angrily, giving each other the finger. There's probably not a single hour that goes by that someone doesn't tear down the 35 mph two-lane road on which I live at 60 or even more, especially motorcycles. I see drivers runnign without their crusie control CONSTANTLY changing speed - below the limit, at the limit, above the limit - so know one around them figure out wheter to pbutt them or get behind them .I see drivers going so slowly on highways that you risk running into to them or getting rear ended. I see drivers who are in such a rush to get to whereever they're going, they practically drive everyone else off the road. I hear so many people say they beleived that fact that they were late for an apoointment enbreastled them to drive extra fast. Most people I drive with just go through a green light wihtout buttuming someone in the intersection is not going to stop. (I go though every green light with extreme caution) And this is not to mention all the drunk drivers. Even if you buttume that everyone who drives impaired is caught, it is WAY too many.
Now in most cases, I agree that this is just part of these drivers' efforts to get to point b and that they aren't out to bother anyone. But driving is big responsibility. It should be done with precision and care. So I guess people aren't terrible drivers in one sense, but in another they are.
Your probably all for gun registration and-or control
I'm opposed to gun ownership in any way.
