I try to always drive observantly (if that's a word) and because I hate to fly, I do a lot of long distance driving. I trust myself, and try to always leave myself an out. I pay attention to conditions and traffic more than speed limits. I may drive 85 on a lightly traveled western Interstate 70-80-90 but would never do that on the Mass Pike or I-95. I don't tailgate, or live permanently in the left or middle lane. My dad is an excellent driver, Mom, not so much.

I'd much rather ride with a fast, attentive eyes on the road driver than a slow oblivious one.
