COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- People underestimate the length of the white dashed lines painted down the middle of a road indicating that many drive too fast, a U. S. researcher said.

Study leader Dennis Shaffer of Ohio State University and colleagues tested more than 400 college students in three experiments. When asked to guess the length of the lines from memory, most answered..........

......and the empty spaces in-between measure.........

I wonder how much of a taxpayers' government grant was expended for this nutty perfesser to conduct this earthshaking research program.

At least, the time spent on it probably kept him from teaching Marxism 101 to his students for a term or two.
