I know a few people who have been pulled over for driving the speed limit and making it unsafe by creating a rolling road block.

Most accidents on highways are the result of lane changes, and people not going with the flow of traffic increases lane changes.

    I know a guy who got arrested for looking like another guy. Laws are often crappy. Those people you know… what’s thier accident history like? Do they crash a lot? I’m guessing not. I’ve never even come close to hitting another car in all my 20+ years of driving.

    One of them is known as “Bambi killer” because they hit so many deer.

    One of them? Just the one? How about you? How many deer have you hit? I’ve never hit an animal or road debris either.

    You never answered if you wear your seatbelt or not.

    Of course I wear my seatbelt because other people are shit drivers. Even at 35 mph I could be seriously injured if someone crosses the center line.

    Because of the acceleration, not the speed.

    I’ve hit two deer but one literally jumped on top of my car from a hillside and the other I hit at like 15mph.

    Don’t waste your time with seatbelts. Those other driver need to learn to drive but that’s a different problem. Just don’t crash and you won’t need a seatbelt.

    Would you rather be hit by a bad driver going 35 or a bad driver going 70? It’s the same right? It’s the acceleration lol
