It's time once again for me to insert my semi-annual rant against the prime cause of ALL accidents.
Tailgating! No matter how fast I go, (within debatable reason) as long as I can't run into anything besides moose, deer & pigeon, I should be relatively safe. The idiot behind me who choses to ride my bumper, no matter what the speed, is 10 times more likely to create havoc in the event I have to suddenly brake in order to better check out a particularly sensuous pair of feminine legs.
And while I'm at it....It should be absolutely mandatory that all houses & businesses CLEARLY display their numerical addresses on or above the door that belongs to that particular address. We whine about cell phones & nose-picking while driving, yet most of us have experienced the frustration of trying to find an obscure address whilst motoring along an urban strip with cell-phoners & nose-picking drivers all around us. No wonder most of those urban strips have a body shop on every corner - usually with no address displayed.
Ron.
