I've done a lot of laps in a lot of places... I don't think there's too much I can't conclude about things after nearly forty years of high-mileage driving...
The road, I repeat, is as safe as you make it. |

No, nor in Bombay... but the essentials remain the same.

No, you're right, never too old to learn... but too many today reckon they have learned it all once they have their licence... or maybe a little before that time.
When it comes to poor driving conditions, confidence is an essential. You certainly have to know your limits, and the car's as well, but you have to have a degree of confidence so you don't bring yourself - and others - undone because of unfounded fears. |

Yes, Ray, after all I can tell you are right...
Sad, but Friday on the news, I saw and horrible crash... the poor woman died instantly, the bombers had problems to release her from the metal debris the car turned into... it was raining, and a hole in the tarmac made her lost control and crash the truck that was coming on the other way... (Yes... most of highways here are simple two ways).

There are all too many of these events taking place, all around the world, and in so many cases they are really quite avoidable. Learning to drive properly is something that it seems no government ever wants to encourage....
That's the saddest fact of all. |

Excuse be butting in to your conversation you guys..But what you said Ray is Soooooooo true...Here in Austin Texas people drive with Nascar mentality..They tailgate like crazy,and I mean tailgate heavely even in the wet...There is no way they can stop the vehicle in time, that close, at those speeds..So the result is rear enders up the ying yang,many times a day I see this..I shake my head in disbelief, but it makes no difference they will never learn, body repair shops love them!
