Mr. Duffman, defensive driving and speed are two different things. No matter how fast you are going, maintain a safe distance from the other cars and be ready to slow down at all times. Driving slow, by defenition is NOT defensive driving. Maybe you should take the class and stop confusing the two. You clearly lack an overall understadning of how to realistically bring safety to the roads. Your short sightedness is why things will never change, look at the statistics, are things working the way they are now?? Are you happy with the status quo? You have no understanding of basic human nature and the flow of traffic. Also, I have never once condoned speeding, just obey the basic speed limit as it is posted, and dont drive 55 in a 65 while oblivious to everyone around you! You my friend, should be retested until you gain the confidence to control an automobile at the proper speed limit. Also, google defensive driving in Europe, and learn why they have less problems over there. Hint, its not cause everyone drives slow, its being offensive enough to avoid the accident in the first place. Duffman, please, b4 your next response, RESEARCH THE SUBJECT
