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.
