Their response to anything, like a car honking or a loud noise is to slam on their brakes. That is how accidents happen.

People who are aware of their surrounding and are not hysterical, think, then react.

Hysterically slamming on ones brakes is a sign of a bad driver.

OK i agree that hysterical slamming on of the brakes is sometimes not needed, However tell me if the car in front of you does slam on their brakes and you run into the back of them who do you consider to be the bad driver and wwho do you consider to be at fault?.

To the original complaint you failed in the first post to use the word "hysterical" you just said people that brake approaching a green light.... I will put my case further after i find out your reasoning for fault

It shouldn't be, but it's almost impossible to prove that they were the ones that screwed up.

Mind you, in a perfect world the driver in the car behingd makes sure to keep their distnace so accidents doesn't happen.

But in this world there are a lot of factors that can screw you over even if you try to take caution, like ice on the road or something.

you are getting where i am heading.... one can't complain about the actions of others if one isn't personally driving safely to begin with

I would let Vidcc spend a day in the car with my mother, but I am afraid I pulled her license long ago.

A reprieve must be in order for the day.

I will drive behind to make sure all is well.

People who brake approaching a green light don't "get it". They have no sense of the dynamics of driving. I don't know about you, but I can smell when a light is about to turn yellow. Even if it does, you just need to check cross traffic and run the light. Remember, even when your light is RED, so is the cross traffic light for another full second.

If one is traveling at the speed limit one should either see the yellow light ahead and slowly brake or if close to the intersection, just run it. The yellow light is your friend.
