Maybe, but I would also hope the recommend obeying the law. If the vehicle in front of you obscures your vision, then you are supposed to give yourself more space.
And if the vehicle in front of you has their vision out the back obscured for some reason like a trailer, then you are supposed to give more space as well. Even in the case of a sedan, a small low car is not going to be able to get great vision. Sure it is important to know what is going on down the road, however the car in front of you has much more bearing than something even a few hundred yards away. A quarter mile down the road for me involves two stop lights one of which I can't see because of the hill. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 2:21 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Higher Taxes for Hybrids > > u8m, if you ever take a defensive driving class, they definitely teach > you you should be looking a quarter mile up the road. > > Dana > > On 11/28/05, Nick McClure <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That is total BS.
