I have warned you on more than one occasion there is no need for name calling. Let's keep the conversations polite and on point please. Pubescent behavior has no place on a grown adult based forum.
I think what is happening is some of the members are misinterpreting what I'm saying as well as me not accurately explaining it. Whenever we as drivers get behind the wheel, acceleration, steering, gear changing, and braking input, are constantly changing. This is regardless of weather, road conditions, other drivers behavior, or any other factor.
How we drive should never change. This is also regardless of weather, road conditions, other drivers behavior, or any other factor. Unfortunately this only applies to capable, responsible, and professional drivers. The rest of the motoring public will change how they drive because of weather, road conditions, other drivers behavior, or any other factor.
A capable, responsible, and professional driver drives the same all the time. For me it's always keeping 6-9 seconds distance and using the 5 keys of the SMITH System. At stops being able to see: the bottom of the rear tires of the vehicle in front of me, the limit line, the whole crosswalk, etc. At stop signs/red lights coming to a complete stop and looking left right left, then easing into the intersection and looking again before the point of no return (in the intersection). Not driving faster than what conditions permit (regardless of what those conditions are). When on a curved blind section of freeway and the speed limit is 40 (I-5 to 55 of 55 to I-5 carpool lane), you darn well better do that speed or under. If a car is stalled a human does not have the reflexes to prevent slamming into them.
I might add that not any one of us is perfect. A good driver does their very best to drive safe without confrontation and prevents collisions. Sometimes it is just not possible no matter how good you are. An example is the 14 freeway here in CA. There are sections of the freeway that are a death trap for the unwary. Wrong way drivers in the carpool lane just as you are coming up and over the crest of the hill.
This is another example of simply being lucky. Gore point crossers are some of the most unpredictable of all!! I have seen signal on to exit, then use the exit for a passing lane then have the right signal still on and last minute go left over the gore point and cut driver off requiring a sudden decel to let them in.
As a professional driver (on public highways), how I drive is the same in my personal vehicle as I would be in a loaded tanker.
Hopes this clears up any misunderstanding.....
