I want the technology to prevent others from driving dangerously.
And myself, by extension. We all have human moments.
Running red lights, mounting pavements to cut corners, brake-checking, dangerous overtaking, inadequate stopping distances, distractions, micro sleeps, accidently accelerating into shop fronts, and just generally phasing out because you are human.
I personally hate anti-social driving behaviour.
Brake Checking is the stupidest thing I have ever witnesses. It feels like it's becoming a trend here in Australia. Did it originate as aggressive behaviour in the US, or Russia maybe for insurance?
It's certainly a recent trend here in Australia.
- cookie_monsta 3y agoI drive every day in Australia, thankfully not in peak hour but hundreds of km per week and I have never seen brake checking, didn't know it was a thing, had to Google the term to find out what it means. I have noticed a lot of people failing to keep a safe distance from the car in front (tailgating), though, which is far stupider to me. Maybe the two are related?
- zdbrandon 3y agoI don't think I've ever once been "break-checked" in 15 years of driving. Is that something that only happens to people who habitually drive too close to the car in front of them? (Tailgating as we call it here.)
