    My fault legally.

    But in the instance of a car alarm going off, you look sideways to appraise the situation. Hysterical braker has decided to slam on the brakes because they are startled. Your eyes return to the front and in that second of turning away you become too close and either swerve to avoid or do a fender bender.

    You think, it is legally my fault, but what the feck was that idiot slamming on his brakes for. What a totally stupid accident.

    The really sad part about this is that often people swerve to avoid and hit a different car and then cars start piling up. Mr Hysterical braker has no clue that he has just caused a 5 car pile-up for no reason and pulls away muttering "safety first".

    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.
    you got your identical twin brother to take your test for you, didn't you

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    I am not saying that people that "lack confidence" should have a license. I believe the driving test needs to be far far harder. However more accidents are cause by people that are over confident...those that drive beyond their skill level...than those that are nervous.

    If you drive in the manner you say you do then the actions of a hysterical braker will not cause you to have and accident

    But I am not a hysterical braker...I am a safe driver (but not perfect) who tries to be aware of everything that is going on around me..... I expect the other drivers to be erratic, that way I am not surprised.

    Remember to take a bite of food while approaching a junction

    God damn Vidcc, we are in the lounge.

    I gave you a power, mine was to revoke licenses. It means that other drivers who behave in the manner I described irritate me. It is called a "pet peeve". This is the "get a power so that you can eliminate those who are irritating you"! It's a pet peeve thread.

    I want the power to revoke a drivers license at my slightest whim.

    Which, incidentally, almost got cawkjacked jacked by Snny.

    legally and in reality...you were not driving at a speed and distance where you were able to stop, or you just were not paying attention. It doesn't matter why he slammed his brakes on

    He didn't cause the accident....it was cause by the drivers that swerved to miss one car because they were driving too fast and too close.
