Learning what the sign with the koala on it means, does not a competent motorist make
I gots some rood rulez for ya:
(1) Thou shalt not merge onto a highway at 40% cruising speed.
Dummy.
(2) Thou shant block a merger by moseying along next to someone in need of a lane.
Jerk.
Snot hard to keep track of more than one car at a time, you have no qualms with it every weekend when Ray-Jay's boyz run dem trains through you.
Oh and another thing, I don't know about 'Murica, but here in 'Straya?
Youngin's be needing more drive schoolin'. (Some eldens too mind you!)
You know, essential skills like: reading traffic, physics of traction & stopping distances, what 200+ killerjoules looks like when it's expended in milliseconds, and how to update bookface whilst changin' choons and changin' gears correctly.
Nah but yeah matching your speed to the stream you're entering, in order to minimise disturbances should be standard knowledge. As is facilitating your fellow motorists in their efforts to do the same safely.
And I dislike that our culture glamorises risk taking behaviour, hawt cars, short skirts and big skids (in yo undies) but not the safety skills and repercussions side of being a motorist.
