If you can't conceive of a situation where you need to slam the brakes due to external factors despite following the recommended 2-second following distance, you're ignorant of the depths of bad driving. Have you really never been cut off before?

I would go so far as to say that if you're not noticing at least a single example of dangerous driving nearly every time you leave the house, you're probably not aware enough to be a safe driver.

Every time? No. If it happens every time, you're the problem. This shit is outta pocket. Or you live in thunderdome.

Just a fairly normal North American city, actually. So yeah - thunderdome.

Dear diary,

I met mad max today, great driver, very aggressive.

Sometimes it's "just" a dead girl hit by a speeding SUV a couple blocks away from their school. Even something as simple as a bit of extra speed has a remarkable influence on life or death. Both in avoiding and mitigating harm.

Not as exciting as Max Max, but nice movie reference.
