Using the posted hypothetical example of someone getting cut-off on a freeway, it is my feeling that no matter what the circumstances of the possible catastrophic example, such as given, WHEN WE ARE ALL FULLY WITHIN POSTED SPEED LIMITS, NOT USING A CELL PHONE, MAKING SURE THAT ALL FOCUS IS TO BE ON THE JOB OF DRIVING, CONTINUALLY LOOKING AT OUR REAR VIEW MIRRORS TO BE ALERT TO A SPEEDER FAST APPROACHING,ETC., WE SHOULD REALLY NEVER BE IN AN ACCIDENT !!

I believe that the majority of drivers truly feel all-powerful and invincible behind the wheel of a 2-10 thousand pound vehicle. The focus on the driving to most people is just a secondary thinking process. I’m sure very few drivers are CONTINUALLY GLANCING at their rear view mirrors to stay alert of reckless / speeding drivers fast approacing, for example.

I have only had one accident in my years of driving…the 88 year old lady t-boned me while she was turning left into the church parking lot wit her 1977 Caddy. Yes, I was, as usual, driving well within (probably lower)the posted residential speed limit. Stuff will happen,regardless.

At this time I fully agree with the Progressive Company idea.

Just possibly this is what it’s going to take to tell drivers to simply understand that driving these machines needs to be taken more seriously to save lives !!

Civil liberties violated you ask ? You can’t “open-her-up and see what she’ll do” anymore ? Go to a designated / official drag strip and get it out of your system for awhile.

Just take your time in the art of driving everyone !
