That can least afford the ticket or the increased insurance fees -- is the one most frequently seen blasting down the highway like a rich man.

Or even more catastrophic. Our local news is reporting the death of a young child which was k**led when the mother, lost control of her car, ran off into the other lane and hit a three quarter ton pickup truck head on.
What happened. She was following too close when she looked up from texting on her cell phone and found a traffic light had stopped the cars in front of her.
Like a lot of women. Her response was to slam on the breaks, cover up her face with both hands and scream in panic.
So pathetic:
Rules:
(1) Leave one car length for every ten miles per hour speed. fifty MPH = 5 car lengths between you and the car in front of you... not 5 feet.
(2) Do not text and drive.
(3) Keep your hands on the wheel and look for about any place to wreck your car other than into another one.
So many people driving who do not have even a basic understanding of applied physics. Especially stored "kinetic energy" built with movement of mass and inertia.
(If that flew over your head, park your car and take a bus)

The applied physics will ALWAYS go over my head! My brain is not science wired. You left out a few things.
Every vehicle has the handy little things called ....ready...turn indicators. They are there for a reason. Try using them.
Quit looking at your stupid GPS Map. If you do not know where you are, pull over, put on your flashers, figure it out, and then safely return to the road.
When you are stopped for a stop light, leave at least a half to one car length between yourself and the car in front of you.
Women, could you please take care of your hair and makeup before getting in the bloody car. A car is not a makeup counter nor hair salon.
