Then you don't understand fine motoring ;-) The point is not to make all the lights, it's to get the pole postion. To be in control, rather than to be behind some big slow piece of crap or a moron. It's about avoiding accidents rather than taking a "if get hit then this metal will protect me" approach. Always have an exit strategy and always be first - then there will be no accident to be protected from. (plus it's fun to unleash big ft-lbs of torque onto your butt every chance you get. It'll make you giggle like a school girl every time. Life's little thrills can really be rewarding.) > If the driver cannot stop, he is not > driving as safely as the person in front of him. > LMAO! That's a good one. Look, I'm not telling you my opinion, I'm telling you the facts. Ignoring my own experience, I've heard from cops in multiple cities who have said that 90% of the accidents they deal with happen in the following way: 1.) Heavy traffic, i.e., bumper to bumper 2.) SUV driver not paying attention to traffic slowing down. 3.) SUV driver realizes traffic stopped or slowed and slams on brakes. 4.) Car behind SUV can't see the brake lights in front of the SUV so they have no warning that the SUV driver is not paying attention until the SUV is laying rubber. Crunch. What you're saying is great textbook stuff that I don't disagree, but in bumper to bumper traffic the only warning a driver has is the guy in front of him unless she can see past or through that vehicle. BTW that type of accident is the SUV driver's fault for not paying attention unless it's a no-fault state and then it's both of their faults for being on the road in the first place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Save $10 Download ZoneAlarm Security Suite http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=66 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:184251 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
