BillyT Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Interesting, again,KSB! There was an article in Car and Driver on the abysmal lack of defensive driving and even basic driving skills! No surprise to any of us! Mostly referred to motorists,but is tragically noticeable in too many so called professional drivers! As most of us know talking on the phone while driving is statistically comparable to driving drunk! I predict it will get worse as the younger drivers learn to depend on the " incompetence mitigation" devices on mom and dad's car! In Florida the drivers test no longer features parallel parking!

"Incompetence mitigation devices" are becoming increasingly common on large trucks, as well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47767-90-seconds-of-news-18-november-2016-a-week-in-trucks/#findComment-352894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
