Interesting. But my first reaction is, "Holy Shit!", don't people think about things like speed and inertia?
I am very aware of the dangers on the freeway. I DO NOT slow below 50 if there's traffic, that's slow enough to really piss off most of them. If it's pretty deserted I'll slow even more but I am always aware of my surroundings. I never want to cause others harm but I am extremely pissed at people that don't bother to think and that's what tailgating is.
I would bet money that 98% plus of all people do not think about what's really going on. I taught drivers ed for 2 semesters while in college and discovered this thing called reaction time. For most it's almost a second before your foot even touches the brake pedal.
At 60 MPH that's 88 feet. If you're closer than that you just hit me. That's about the max speed I drive unless I have to speed up and damned few things cause that. At 90 it's 132 feet, that's 43 yards, 1/2 a football field, NOBODY can avoid an accident at that speed if something happens. If it's a truck with 10 tons of load, I don't know. I've never bothered to figure that one out but learning about inertia that way can be a very hard lesson.
I am also an engineer, computers, but I think about all this other stuff too and try very hard to not do anything dangerous. I also had an SCCA license and drove sports cars in track and cross country races. I am extremely aware of everything around me. Spacial awareness is big in my universe and that's what keeps me alive sometimes. When I drive my mind goes to a place where it perceives every other driver out there with only one purpose in mind. To kill me! I drive very defensively.
So, why should I be tolerant of some butt head that thinks it's OK to endanger my or my families life because they are in a hurry? I'm not! If you cause an accident and hurt my family because of your ignorance, I will be extremely angry.
Stay very safe
