Those were fun, Callie. The only one I didn't agree with was this one.

It's not even a tiny bit safer (in dry conditions) to leave a car length or more between you and the car in front of you when you are at a DEAD STOP!

This depends on where you live. In the city where I live, you ALWAYS stop far enough behind a stopped car where to have enough room to escape to the left if the passengers jump out of the car with guns drawn and come running to your car. We have at least one of those every month here. It never happened to me, and god help them if they try because I WILL run them over (at the very least) to save my own life.

Where I live, a pizza driver gets robbed about one per week, drivers watch who is leaving an ATM and follow them, then when they stop at a stop sign bump them gently so they get out of the car to look at the damage. At that point they are robbed at gunpoint, often shot dead so there are no witnesses.

So, I am one who stops 2 car lengths behind a stopped car. Of course, if you don't live in the 'hood, that precaution is not necessary. And what is odd is that Bob lives in an area that is not all that great, though I doubt he lives in that "not so great" part of his town.

All in all though, that list was great!!!
