You're right. Ask anyone. They will tell you they are a good, or a great driver. People take pride in their driving "skills".
I'm wasnt' talking about honest mistakes, I was talking about purposeful behavior, or brainless habits. I just ran across this little sheet of info that came with my auto registration. I wonder if it's true. Seems to be designed to support the magic 55 mph limit. If it's true, it is very interesting. Time saved per trip at different speeds: For a five mile trip: 45 vs. 55 - you save 1 min. 13 sec. For a ten mile trip: 45 vs. 55 -you save 2 min. 25 sec. For a twenty mile trip: 45 vs. 55 - you save 4 min. 50 sec. For a five mile trip: 55 vs. 60 - you save 27 sec. For a ten mile trip: 55 vs. 60 - you save 55 sec. For a twenty mile trip: 55 vs. 60 - you save 1 min. 49 sec. For a five mile trip: 60 vs. 65 - you save 23 sec. For a ten mile trip: 60 vs. 65 - you save 46 sec. For a twenty mile trip: 60 vs. 65 - you save 1 min. 32 sec.

I could confess a few dopey things I've done in snow, starting with when I was a teenager.
