Yes, most drivers do drive dangerously. Most will get away with it unscathed through luck, but not all. Increase your odds by driving safely even if everyone else isn’t.
- gnicholas 2y agoThe thing is, liability (and all negligence) is based on a 'reasonable person standard'. That means that if the jury is comprised of other people who drive in the same way, which you deem dangerous, then they will be adjudicated to be not legally responsible. Also, as I mentioned above, leaving much larger follow distance than other drivers is, in places like LA, not a way to strictly enhance anyone's safety. Even if you leave a normal-ish amount of follow distance, you'll get cut off from time to time. If you leave 6 seconds of follow distance, you will be cut off all the time, which is dangerous for you and for the other drivers.
