[QUOTE="JULAKA, post: 502484, member: 14497"] I'm saying that instead of trying to impose these neat, tidy little lists of things to keep you safe, why not ask the drivers who have gone 30 plus years what they do to accomplish such a feat. They didn't do it by couting 1, 2, 3 at an intersection. They didn't do it by maintaining 5-8 second following distance. How many drivers here honestly count, "OK 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand, OK, imaginary target, dartboard, look left, right, left, OK what now, DAMN, what is number 6 on the 10 point commentary, oh CRAP, uh, I better pull over and get my little laminated card so that I can continue safely on to my next stop." These 30 year drivers have thousands upon thousands of tips and suggestions to share, and it can never be memorized. It all boils down to being extra alert and attentive. I haven't had an accident in 17 years, but I think my manager would rather I did have an accident each year, as long as I could recite his little saftey list. [/QUOTE]
