I like the genral idea of this video, i just hope you had a mounted /fixed camera rather than a hand held. Would have been slightly hypocritical otherwise.
People are gonna talk on their cells while driving buddy. No law is gonna stop it. I hate it as much as the next guy. But you got to be smarter than teh average dipshit behind the wheel. My advise is, learn to live with it as I have.
i give an especially large gap (literally like 6-7 seconds) to motorcyclists. but i have a huge problem with these guys... 90% of them don't center to their lane, they come too close to my vehicle, & often straddle the line.
they wanna put more distance between them & other cars right? well put some distance between your 3 and 9 too!
also, bikers think they can do whatever they want, i get cut off by them more than anyone simply because they can fit easier. cagers aren't the only problem.
As a followup, soon after this video was posted several intersections were improved to include widening, addition of turn lanes, and traffic lights. These improvements helped, but driver carelessness is still a problem in many areas.
im confused, why do you have to increase the distance in front of you when someone is close behind you?? good vid man

@thepeahead987 To increase reaction time if you need to slow down quickly so you don't get rear ended by a tailgater.
