I'll never understand...

Yeah, BTD, I don't understand why the one-car-length per 10 miles per hour just doesn't seem to be taught anymore? Most people are usually within one-two car lengths behind me, even at 75 miles per hour! Eek! What happens if I have to brake suddenly. This is one of my pet peeves too.

I don't consider myself an old lady driver but I seem to be one of the few practicing this technique. Did Driver's Ed switch out this rule for something else? Or is Driver's Ed just not taught any more due to budget cuts? Holy moley, if it's been cancelled, Gov. Schwarzenegger, put that course back in please! I'd be happy to pay extra taxes for that class....
