WTF are you talking about?

I suppose you NEVER follow too close right? And as usualy always quick to say something is MY fault
No, I don't. I'm a very safe driver and one thing I always do is leave a safe distance between myself and the car in front of me. I've driven across the country and back over a dozen times, have over a million miles of driving experience, and haven't had an accident or ticket in close to 30 years. The four accidents I've been involved in consisted of someone backing into my legally parked car with me just happening to still be occupying it (twice), an idiot who was following to close and not paying attention who rear ended me and pushed me into oncoming traffic causinga four car pileup (and costing her insurance and personal bank account a sh*tload of cash), and a drunk who pulled out of a gas station with the hose still in his gas tank and sideswiped me while I sat stopped at a red light.

A quick google search came up with nothing. At least not on the first page of the search. I'm not going to dig through pages to see, but obviously, it doesnt seem to be a problem there.

I'll take hippies on bikes in Asheville over the idiots driving in Orlando. It's a lot safer to drive in Asheville. A lot safer, and I dont know about you, but I dont see hippies in Asheville in road rage incidents either.

Whatever it takes. Mellow is better than aggressive. Nice change from Orlando and looking forward to the normalcy!

Apparently it happens in Indiana as well (as I'm sure many other places just because people in general can be stupid).
