Haven't owned a car for years, but when I did, those signs just never... hit.. enough to warrant a significant behavior change. Obviously it is a lot, but that's just not how it feels while on the road. Can't imagine I'm the only one.
- bluGill 3y agoThat is the problem - it is really hard to figure out how anyone would make a change. either you know how to drive safe and you do, or you don't and think you do. I've never seen anyone back off to the recommended 2 second following distance for example. (that is something I know about and do - but I have no idea what other safety advice now exists that I don't even know of)
- brewdad 3y agoWhen I learned to drive, we were taught hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel. Apparently now, my kid was taught 9 and 3 or even 8 and 4 because modern cars with steering wheel airbags are more likely to injure you if your hands are placed the old way.
- Doxin 3y agoI somewhat recently got my drivers license and was taught to never grip the steering wheel with my thumbs on the inside because, and I quote my government certified instructor, "The airbag will rip your thumbs clean off." No clue if that's true, but it doesn't seem entirely unlikely so my thumbs don't go inside the wheel.
