[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3522224, member: 24357"] Just reading Vraille Darkfang's thread on “When the Universe tries to tell you something, you should listen” and thought of this- I use to drive like a wacko, and then I (surprise) got a ticket (one in fifteen years, not bad) and went to driving school. The teacher had speeds on one side of the board, distances to a location in the middle of the board, and stopping distances on the far side. Sitting there bored while he talked I started figuring out what the numbers were while he blathered on about other things, and I thought- “what the hell am I doing?” Driving 35 mph in a 25 zone to go a distance of 1 mile, “what did I save a second?” (Not what I was busted for, but it was something I had just done to get to the class.) When I realized that tail gating was just costing me gas (cause your speed is dictated by the guy ahead of you, back off an you can coast up to him when he applies his breask just a bit), speeding up to a green light that was green a quarter mile away was a waste cause it was gonna change before I got there, I knew what I would do. Stop being the moron behind the wheel (leave that for when I wasn’t behind the wheel). I slowed down to the speed limit or the speed of the traffic around me, stopped sitting on people’s tails, stopped using my finger as a signal, and I started to relax behind the wheel. My gas consumption went way down (mileage on my vehicle jumped about 3 mpg above sticker listed), and I was feeling better about myself and other drivers. Thank you, and have a great day :D [/QUOTE]
