    No offense if not... but did you type this drunk? It makes some sense... but
    it's a lot of rambling and it doesn't really apply to the post you responded
    to.

    It's not just country roads either.

    Last friday evening I was driving downtown to pick up my wife. As I
    approached an intersection of a major and minor streets (I was about
    50m away and making the mental calculation of whether the green light
    would last long enough for me to roll through without braking) when I
    saw a red minivan blow right through the intersection in the crossing
    direction at full speed. The other driver probably not even noticed
    that his light was red (drunk? tired? distracted? stupid?) and, had I
    been 50m ahead of where I was, I would have been t-boned in a nasty
    way.

    When your time's up it's up.

  3. what if what if you drive a safer car than most ?It doesn't mean you will
    live if you have a major accident but it sure helps to have a real car
    around you .

  4. After millions of klms driving day and night Taxis Hire cars and such ,I
    figure I make mistakes maybe less of them but I often think what if that
    person coming towards me has just had an argument or is drug affected or
    just plain stupid ?I know of a woman who hears voices is bi polar often off
    with the birds but drives a car legally .The serious accidents she has had
    have never brought her ability or disability into question .She is one of
    many you face every day besides the aggressive male or the phone attached to
    the ear youth .Drive like the other person is mad as its quiet likely they
    are ....

  5. Your inability to understand my ramblings do not make me as a drunk ,but
    rather you as an unfortunate person with no ability to read what is
    presented to you .

  6. Drive as if the other guy hates you \is on drugs \has been drinking \is mad
    as a hatter \or all of the above .My sister in law hears voices is certified
    paranoid schizophrenic, yet has a licence to drive .When she is off with the
    fairies she is down right scary with a jesus will watch over me attitude .No
    need to check the oil jesus will do that nor the water, jesus watches over
    that ,and as for red lights aren't they pretty ? So think she might be
    driving the "other "car coming your way .....Trouble is this is serious
    she's genuine and real , driving to and fro each day looking for an accident
    .....Its said I/3 of youth here on a Saturday night had some form of drug in
    them and they are driving yes even the nice kid next door to you and his mom
    and pop .
