Accord V6 gas mileage?

Rear-end collisions are caused by tailgating. Tailgating is rampant.
Many drivers are impatient, always want to go faster. They don't care
about the risk.

At work, everybody is a paragon of safety. They are fussy about the
company following safety rules and indignant if slight dangers appear
that could be blamed on the company. On the road, the same people are
cutthroats, ignoring speed limits, amber lights, and following
distance.

The cops don't care. They say, let the insurance sort it out.

Too bad for you, though, if you are one of the folks who obeys the
speed limit or might find yourself in an unfamiliar situation and slow
down to figure it out, and you get rear-ended by some type A idiot.

 

Valid point. Tailgating is _extremely_ dangerous, especially on
highways. I am nervous to be a passenger with anyone who drives
constantly on someone's rear bumper.

However, there are things everyone can do to ease road-rage.

1. The left lane on highways is a passing lane. Stay out of it.
Some states are even passing laws that will give a $100.00+
ticket if you drive over a mile in the left lane. If you are
driving in the left lane, and you aren't moving quickly to pass,
then you are a danger to everyone and are enticing anger in those
around you, which makes the roads unsafe for everyone.

2. Use your signal, even when switching lanes on the highway. People
get angry (and rightly so) when people dont use their signals.

3. Don't cut people off and then drive slow. If you move out in
fast moving traffic, accelerate as hard as you can to get up
to the speed of the people that you may have just cut off.

There are a handful of others, of course, but most of these cause
people to become angry, which only makes things worse for the careful
drivers out there.

In summary, a safe driver is one who is courteous enough to prevent
others from being angered and possibly dangerous themselves.
