Couldn’t have said it better myself. Yes, the bus is carrying the most precious cargo there is why can’t people have a little patience? Oh, yeah and how about that other little point about giving way to the school bus, it’s the law. When did that stop meaning something?

There are family size cars on the market that are now much more economical as well as hybrid cars. As demand for more miles per gallon increase so will the auto industry shift their cars to match the demand. Its not just about the size of the engine any more, but how many miles that engine can give us.
Reply to this
So right! Cars were much more dangerous in some ways - faster, and much more dependent on driver control. There were a few crucial differences from today that made driving easier, though - teenagers would never have had the money to buy their own car back then, and there was only a tiny percentage of the cars that are now on the road ... sheer volume makes for a much more dangerous driving experience.

Interesting article about the dangerous problem of drowsiness at the wheel.I find that actually starting to do a running commentary on your drive,mentioning all that you are seeing and doing (either just in your head or even better spoken out loud )helps to get the brain cells active again and before long you should feel wide awake.
It has to be said that if that doesn`t work you really need to find somewhere to stop and take a rest.
Reply to this
These are all great points and points that every driver should take into account. One thing about driving safely is that you always need to be alert and paying attention. It's generic, but it's the truth.
In the smallest amount of time some idiot can misjudge and pull into your lane, try to make a left turn when they clearly shouldn't, and so on. I honestly think that there would be far less accidents if everyone drove manual. Sure, it becomes second nature after a while, but I still find a huge difference in my alertness when I happen to drive automatic for whatever reason. Anyhow, great article.

Interesting comments. Yes. Not good to be multi-processing while driving. And you're certainly not alone believing that running through the gears and punching a cluch will keep you more alert! I often "pretend" I'm shifting - even in my automatics for just that reason.

Oh you are so right, so much about cars has changed. The more I think back the more i see how it is all so different in making cars and the engine and computer systems. Gone are the days of fixing a car on the side of the road by a process of elimination. Now it's computer down, the car is inactive no matter what, or call the roadside service to come help. Car insurance is so much more compliacted as well.Cars are designed to crumple, and with intuitive braking systems and all manner of things that we did without before. I can't help but love those old muscle cars still, but I am partial to power steering now.

Excellent post.I want to thank you for this informative read, I really appreciate sharing this great post. Keep up your work…

Haha! Great to realize - completely agreed. You mention all the simple things, like gas mileage, windshield wipers and suspension ... but there are also a helluva lot more things that make driving almost an autopilot activity nowadays. Anti-lock braking systems, traction control, automatic climate control, seats that are programmed to remember different positions and cruise control all make the job of driving (as well as the mechanic's job of fixing the things!) a lot more complex. It doesn't take away from the fact that as you age, your senses and reaction time starts to decline though. Respect, but also caution.

That is an interesting observation. You know, it is really so. If to give it a thought I also agree with it. But you know vehicles stopped being a means of transport long ago. I like to read about famous people (find a lot of their autobiographies at the files search engine http://rapid4me.com ) and almost everybody agrees that they buy very expensive cars either because it has been their dream or because of their social position but not because the like high speed.

A very good article and analyzation of Intersection Road Hazards. You definitely have looked at every possibility for an accident with the intersection. It will definitely make me think the next time I am at an intersection. good post. thanks.

This post offers very good advice to drivers who don’t want to be part of a rear end collision. Car insurance rates go up after accidents like that, but it is nothing compared to the emotional trauma and the hassle of getting the car claim sorted. The point by point tips you offer here are concrete bits of advice that drivers can take to heart to ensure that they are not accidental victims. It’s a pity that more of the aggressive drivers on the road who are raising car insurance rates for everyone aren’t more mindful of these thoughtful rules for good, safe driving!

Rear end accidents will be aggravated if more communities and states adopt camera based enforcement. We need to make sure that we can slow down that momentum as well as be aware of our surroundings.

All the safe driving and safety rules are not just for the ones who are actually driving. They are for all who wants to servive. They are for the walfare of the people who left home in a hope that they would come back again home to play with their children, to take their wives to the shopping.

You certainly made your point, and you are also right, still, if you don't drive two cars at the same time, why would you want the second car?

Real driving was the driving in the 60's, it's true we didn't have the technology today but there some cars that I could never forget. The love of my life was Ford Lincoln, no other car will make me forget my firs car.

This article made me feel good. I have always striven to be a smooth driver to the point that it has become unconscious for me. This is partly due to the fact that I get car sick easily and need a smooth ride. I really don't think too much about it now except when I ride with other drivers and wonder if they realize how much they are jerking their passengers around braking quickly, using jerking motions that are totally unnecessary. I can feel every jerk!
Awareness and anticipation are certainly important factors. Another point, smooth driving means less wear and tear on the brakes. My husband has commented many times that I am really easy on brakes. It is likely that gas mileage is better with smooth driving as well.
All this to say that I enjoyed this article.

I like the tips here. I have used them myself. I don't do it often enough, but looking through the car in front of you is a great idea that used to be taught in driver's ed.

Great column, by the way.

It is true that many of us feel that we are driving on the edge, however, it may not all be a bad thing. The truth is, fatalities have declined from 50,000 in the early 1970s to 43,000 today with far more cars on the road. Injuries are down as well.
I wish that we had more highway miles here to counteract the number of cars on the road. The Interstate highway system needs to be doubled in size.
I like faster driving and don't mind the NASCAR effect on urban freeways. I can't stand slow driving on otherwise clear roads. In a slow driving environment, I feel like a fish out of water.
