all this thread is doing is re-afirming my belief that there are some c***s on the road who really shouldn’t be
Quite probably. Are those c***s the ones who have no idea how a car behaves at the limit of control or when you go passed it, the ones for whom ignorance is bliss?
neither and granted they are both just as dangerous as the ones who think its ok to drive like a c**k on speed, believing they know what they are doing.
take it to a track, learn what car control is, take a course that will demonstrate you know nothing and teach you the error of your ways and then go about your life driving sensibly knowing that you know how to drive and that the systems in the car are there to help should you need them in an emergency and aren’t there to stop you crashing.
it defies belief how many people really think they know what a car is doing and is capable of. you NEVER know what is around the next bend, could be a fallen tree, road collapsed, a horse/cyclist/kid, an accident, gravel on the road, mud, ice, road closed etc.
so unless you actually have REAL ESP and genuinely know what is about to happen ahead of schedule instead of a safety feature on your car, slow down and above all else concentrate on what you are doing and think “what if??”
