Actually Dan, don't you think that most people really do try to pay attention, watching not only a few cars ahead but also keeping track of those overtaking from the rear, and allowing plenty of space for an emergency escape as we were taught in driver's ed?Do you really believe that you and Jegs are really part of such a tiny minority?[/quote]
Showcrop, the majority of drivers around here are actually pretty good. They observe the "social contract" inherent in observing the rules of the road and watching out for others, for the most part.
I've come on here and complained about rude and inconsiderate and just plain bad driving in my area, but mostly I get to where I'm going without incident. The exceptionally bad drivers who are out to create havoc are in fact a minority but are highly visible with their road-rage duels and resulting tie-ups when everyone crashes. They make the roadways a mess and, tragically, take innocent lives at times.

I was actually going to start another thread about how drivers are basically ok, and it's a wonder we mostly get to our destinations with all the different personalities, agendas, and what-not sitting behind the wheel. I guess I'll bury these comments here and be done with it.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
