I can confess to doing things which are frowned upon in this thread, but I can tell you that people feel much safer when I'm driving than when many others are driving.
It all comes down to driving within your limits and being aware. Yes, I drive like a maniac, but I know my car's manerisms inside out, and I'm always scanning the road two to three cars ahead and one car behind me when I drive.
These accidents happen when you go past your limits. Drink driving reduces those limits, but I really don't think it's that bad if you stay in your limits (even if it means crawling along at 20km/h).
Yes, that's a very controversial opinion, but I believe there are many, many things that are worse than drunk driving and speeding.
Anyone ever driven home at 7am after a night/morning of clubbing? When you're driving along and you're drifting into and out of sleep....
What about throwing your car into a corner not knowing what the grip levels are like?
I've seen accidents happen in bumper to bumper traffic because people aren't paying attention.
I've nearly been T-boned more times than I can count by people who just simply don't look where they're going.
There will always be maniacs on the roads, and there are also many people who don't know their cars and don't pay any attention to their surroundings or just simply lack driving skill.
The drinking driving message has been hammered home now. What we need is better driver education. I reckon advanced driving courses should be compulsory for everyone who's about to get a licence.
I'm a Board member so I have to add a disclaimer:
These are my opinions, not those of the Toymods Board.
