    Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it’s good to add more random, unnecessary reasons to slam on your breaks.

    No matter what people should do, the reality is that people aren’t perfect. Minds wander, people get tired, and many just wont pay attention even though they should. This is reality and it isn’t going to change.

    Throw it on the laundry list of reasons why we should be making steps to move away from our insane dependency on cars.

      So what it is your solution to dealing with drunk, reckless, or excessively speeding drivers if the police aren’t going to do radar/patrols? How is a cop on the side of the road any different from a powerline worker, a pulled over motorist, or a guy changing a billboard?

      People won’t be slamming on their brakes if they are already traveling a safe and legal speed.
