“...that indicates someone who might need to be retested since they are losing track of conditions around them.”
Great point. And what about the guy that passes you, then slows down!?
I will say that as I have gotten older, I drive the speed limit on the roads in town - maybe 37 at most in a 35; the cops seem everywhere now. And things are more crowded, etc. I REALLY hate it when someone is on my tail then. My kids (learning to drive) said their instructor(!?) told them to slow down below the limit. I told them NOT to do that - you might just piss off the wrong guy. Just keep it at 35 to 37, and make sure you leave a lot MORE room in front of you so you won’t have to slam on your brakes, and risk getting rear-ended.
“But Dad!!! It would be the other guy’s fault.” And then they get reminded AGAIN that I don’t care who’s fault it is - I don’t want them getting in an accident!
We all make mistakes, and occasionally I am that guy who has a car running up on him.
In my case it embarrasses me that I had lost track of my driving and that somebody came up on me while I was just dreamily cruising along in the fast lane.
You are teaching your children the same lesson you always teach, don’t go out of your way to just make life worse, especially when driving at 70 mph on the freeway.
Driving is an activity that involves us all, flow and freeway effectiveness is everything, it is not the time to be compensating or expressing personal issues.
