Best drivers I have ever seen are in China - true they all drive like they are on fire but they sure can scoot! Driving laws in China? HA! Natta So Much Kemosabby.

I didn't understand the artical. Get rid of all traffic signs and speed limits? A 45mph curve is the same as a 15mph curve?
Ughhhh, ok, whatever. Lubby, I didn't think traffic moved at all in China. Don't they all just move forward slowly and cautiously, jockying for position, untill there are four or five bumper touchng?

The point is that artificially low speed limits do more harm than good.

Starting to see more and more round-a-bouts in my area, and I love it. Although I'm still seeing idiots not yielding when they need to, hopefully that will change as more of them pop up.
I would agree that "safer" vehicles are making conditions worse in that people think they are in this indestructible tank and think less of other drivers. Put them in a Miata or a Mini and see how their outlook changes. Heck, make them ride a Ninja 250 on the freeway and see how they react. My old CBR600 was scary enough the first time I ran it at 70mph with big trucks around.

Safe ?
Americans can do just about anything to their car. Hotwheels for 18 yr. olds, these cannot be safe..but I see them all day long. Then there is the Monstertruck jacked to Mars. The bumpers as designed help/ put them a foot higher =killbar. In Europe, the car comes like this=you drive it like that. Any mods must be approved, and they don't come easy or cheap. When americans talk about the autobahn ( cool , no limit ) once on it...they are scared to death..as you must really drive & pay attention, or you become roadkill. Rika |
