Today's topic I would like to explain first by means of a parable...
Say, for instance you and I are standing up, facing eachother, and without warning, I slap you in the face for no reason...You were completely unprepared for the slap and it stings because you were not able to react quickly enough to get your face out of the way... (Of course I won't slap a woman, I will get a big Russian female masseuse to do it...)
Reaction-time is the crux...
Then I ask you:
"Why didn't you get your face out of the way? You think mos that you are Superman or something, don't you? The way you drive on other car's bumpers on the highway and in town...?"
I cringe all the time when I see the following distance that most drivers maintain. Its apalling. Do you realize the danger that you are in? And the danger that you are putting your fellow drivers in? And don't give me that crap of 'everyone does it'... Its stupid and careless and you know it...
What I want people to realize is that when you are less than ten metres away from the car in front of you, and driving at speeds of sixty kilometres and up, you have much less reaction time than it would take you to get your face out of the path of my big, heavy, slapping right hand when something happens...much less. And believe me, eventually, something WILL happen...
So... Please... If you are reading this, send it, re-share it, mail it, I don't care... Just let people know of this site in some or other fashion so that they can read what is writen here... Get the word out.
