The first couple of days are like bumper cars. That learning curve has to be followed every year. Never fails.


Agreed. I travel all over the country & have NEVER seen as many bad, idiot, hostile drivers, as I do in Michigan. WORST stretch of highway is US 23 between Brighton & Ann Arbor at rush hour. There's at least one wreck every day either North or South. You simply cannot keep distance from someone. Last night it had been snowing a little - just enough to resurface the roads - with a Zamboni! I went to pick my daughter up from work at 6:30 & I could tell the road was icy - not just snowy. Touch the brakes & you GLIDE. Safest speed 35 max - MAYBE! Well, there were idiots humming along at 55 - on a 2-lane road thinking it was just wet, if even wondering at all. Some people just don't think at all when driving!


And to 99% of the people driving they just DON'T UNDERSTAND that driving is the most dangerous thing they ever do in their lives! 1% of us have very dangerous jobs, things that could kill you any minute, and we learn how to stay alive. The desk jockey's may get a paper cut, might spill their hot coffee, or slip on the floor at the office. They really DON'T get it that they are driving a 4K lb missle! hammer


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
