Cheating on logs

Not your fault if the driver behind you is tail gating you and your included in an accident.

 

If you have adequate following distance then there is no reason why you need to decelerate fast enough that the vehicle(s) behind you have no choice but to slam into you. Adequate following distance will allow you to GENTLY apply brakes, turn on the 4-way flashers, and alert the drivers behind you that they also need to begin slowing down. There should never be a reason to be braking hard in a situation like this.

It's the folks that have severe cases of ARS that have problems.... (Anal Remora Syndrome)

 

I guess you have never had someone change lanes into the adequate stopping area and suddenly hit the brakes.

I wonder how to get into the perfect driving areas you have and that Meltom believe exist.

I know the real world.

 

Understandably things like this will happen. All you can do is anticipate and react, so when you see the driver making that move in front of you too quickly, you should be prepared to increase your following distance. If this happens in poor conditions you should start, slowly, increasing your distance as soon as they make that move.

 

I think I will just continue to practice the driving I have used for many long years. It has been accident free.

I learned many long years ago, for the emergency driving class, the term that stays with me all of the time.


RATE OF CLOSURE.

 

For a while I was, then about 30 years being the nerdy guy in business.... Now the nerdy truck driver for my retirement.
