I think that people in general aren't taking driving seriously enough.... I learned to drive in a defensive manner riding up to thirty thousand miles a year on motorcycles .... I had a jerk in a Civic tail gate me for miles on a two lane Texas highway coming up scary close to my bumper numerous times while talking on his cell phone. I pulled over on the shoulder so he could go around me and he stayed on my bumper and drove on the shoulder too.... I down shifted, kicked in the boost and made a lot of distance between us and a minute or two later he was on me again still talking on his phone.....When I drive I don't do things that distract me and focus on driving and avoiding those that have their minds somewhere else..... I am an old man that will stop driving voluntarily when I lose the ability to maintain focus and am unable to spot hazardous drivers and situations. Everyone on the road has the potential to kill you if you allow a situation to occur where they can and most situations are avoidable..... Sitting at a signal light or stop sign and getting smashed is something that happens way to often.
