.....and here's something that no amount of space in front of you will
help -- at least as far as someone coming up behind you. I was on the
PA turnpike yesterday and had just rounded a curve when some ASS in
front of me apparently needing to pull off on the right shoulder,
proceeded to brake....going down to about 30 mph before he pulled off.
Since I keep a huge distance between myself and the car in front, I
had no trouble slowing down, but behind me, coming 'round the bend,
were some huge SUV pigmobiles. I really thought I was going to get
rammed. I didn't. I was lucky that the drivers behind me were driving
alert -- not on their cell phones, digging into the candy corn,
reading a map or yelling at their kids--LOL. The guy pulling off on
the right was actually braking down his speed -- not like his car had
died or anything. These are the jerks that kill people. The road is
made so that you can pull off at 45 MPH, and if you don't do that, you
are really endangering yourself and others.
