I’ll start. Stopping distance.
My commute is 95 miles one way to work, so I see a lot of the highway, in the rural part of the US. This means traveling at 70+ mph (112km/h) for almost the entirety of the drive. The amount of other drivers on the road who follow behind someone else with less than a car’s length in front of them because they want to go 20+ over the speed limit is ridiculous. The only time you ever follow someone that close is if you have complete and absolute trust in them, and also understand that it may not even be enough.
For a daily drive, you likely need 2-3 car lengths between you at minimum depending on your speed to accurately avoid hitting the brakes. This doesn’t even take into account the lack of understanding of engine braking…
What concepts do you all think of when it comes to driving that you feel are not well understood by the public at large?
Same in Tennessee.
In fact, if you are in the left lane, you are supposed to pass, then move over to the right as soon as there is a reasonable gap in traffic. When people do not do this, the traffic behind them is allowed to create an audible signal to indicate them to move over. If they do not, you are permitted to pass on the right if there is ample room.
You won’t ever see a state trooper pulling left lane hoggers though…
