Re: If you ever rolled thru a stop sign you should read this...


Thanks for the great article. I think the thing that is missing from the article is the comparison of driver training. I am a big supporter of rotaries, but that's because I understand how they work. People hate rotaries because no one ever taught them how to use them. I don't know what the driver training is in the UK, but the US driver training is pathetic at best.

A friend told me that in the Advanced motorcycling school training in the UK, he was told to watch out for Volvo drivers! The theory being that Volvo drivers are driving the "Safest Cars in the World" so they don't drive near as defensively as they should, because of this feeling of safety. Perception drives reality.
