Traffic laws have not really made the drivers any better.



Your libertarianism gives me the giggles.

You just have to look at the bad driving to see drivers are not improving.
Here in the land of immigrants who never drove before arriving here, it is
especially bad. I have Pinoy friends who even joke about their cultures
bad.


I drive through the city and on the highway a lot with a trailer. I can
state for a fact, just in the lat two years (and I attribute it to cheap
smartphones mostly) drivers have gotten much worse, I would guess I am
seeing a full 30-50% more terrible drivers, cutting folks off and just
not paying attention at all.. Around here it is literally getting scarey
to drive a trailer people just don't give a ****..

It is always scary with a trailer or large truck. Years ago, owned a
leasing company. Large delivery truck, same as when towing the boat.
Leave a decent amount of stopping distance and some idiot driver pulls in
front of you. Especially when making a couple lane move to exit the
freeway.

Drivers down here are horrible too. We have the normal mix of morons
with another 30% of old people who should have surrendered their
license a decade ago.
After riding my Harley downtown to get my motorcycle endorsement on my
license, I didn't really want to ride anymore. I was almost killed a
couple of times.

I have a friend who retired to Florida. He says when people get too old to
drive their cars, they hook them and tow them with the motor home.

Bikes gotta' be scarey. As it were about two years ago I kept seeing a
kid going up and down the street without goggles and a helmet. Jess and
I tracked him down and told him we would "call the cops for illegal
riding" if he didn't start wearing a helmet and shades... He told us he
didn't have a helmet so we went home and got one for him and gave it to
him... I think I mentioned it here back then and he has worn it ever
since. He likes to putz around town on a pepped up moped or anything
else he can trade at the time.. Fixes them and sells, etc. and he always
wears his helmet no matter what he is riding.

Not sure if it was my old helmet Steve was wearing when he was hit by a
car riding a 50 cc moped. He has not woken from coma yet (been about a
week) but they say the helmet saved his life, at least for now....
sometimes I get it right, sometimes...

Those of you who Pray, his name is Steven Lentz...
