it's funny you mention that. i don't drive like that on other roads, but on Rt. 9 around here if you don't drive that way someone will pull out in front of you. not pull in behind the other traffic, but wait until you are almost on top of them before they pull out. i didn't realize it at first, but that is exactly the truth. so i played a few games one week and would leave three cars lengths between me and the car ahead of me. sure enough, not once, but repeatedly, cars would pull out in front of me. there must be something wrong with their reaction times is all i can think is the problem. if you leave more than one car length between you and the car ahead of you, someone will try to pull out in front of you. both of my step-sons have had accidents out here on Rt. 9, until i told them of the problem. now they drive like i do - where there is less than a car length between you and the car ahead of you. you can't drive that way without paying full attention to what you are doing, but at least it keeps the idiots from pulling out in front of you.
