Sorry Peter but I disagree. The faster you go, the more is required to slow you down, and to stop if needed. I do have a licence, but I rarely use it as I prefer to use public transport as it's better for the environment. I watch the cars on the road and I'm horrified at what I see.

As Phil said, too many drivers are overconfident. Worse, many drivers don't see their own bad habits. I ain't seeing I'm a perfec driver, I'm not. But I'm man enough to admit it. Very very few drivers on our roads are *good* drivers. Eyes, reflexes & brains all contribute to driving, and few have the talent to combine all 3 on the road. Those that do generally gravitate to motor sports. I could tell you some racing stories I've heard that display this type of unusual brilliance, but I'd probably bore you ;-)

Dave
