- bluGill 5y agoIf there is anything about what I wrote that is unique to me it is that I'm honest enough to admit to them. Everything I wrote applies to everyone who drives more than a few km in their lifetime. They might not happen everyday, but they happen to everyone on a somewhat regular basis. I really wish transit was better. Even in cities that have what we call good transit, it is still bad enough to too many people drive. (Note, the above issues with human drivers apply to bus and tram drivers.)
- andbberger 5y agoyou should be driving slow enough that your braking distance matches your line of sight. I think most people do, especially in dense fog. there are plenty of cities with great transit, just not in the states
- bluGill 5y agoPeople slow down in dense fog, but they slow down to see taillights distance which isn't enough for anything unlighted. People don't slow down for sun glare - that would be dangerous as the car behind you isn't - instead they assume there is nothing there, or they can figure out something is happening from the other lanes that aren't in the sun glare. Even in cities you consider to have great transit there is room for improvement.
