Most excellent! Thank you.
In my years as a Certified Driving Instructor, nearly all my students ( well, the ones that actually adopted the methods ) all come back and say "Wow, this stuff is really great"
This thread is a perfect example of great suggestions being dismissed bc "The way I do things work" dominate an experienced drivers technique.
Nothing improves until the driver embraces real change.
Communication behind the wheel is crucial.
I want to be
seen, and I want other drivers to
know I see them.
Btw, the chicken fingers guy is at fault, 100%
Sure, the merging douche is, well, a douche. But the guy eating closed the gap intentionally causing contact.
