Replying to: grbeck (Dec 07, 2007 9:46 am) Drivers and cars both are held to a higher standard - and the result is a driving experience that is unimaginable compared to the dreck we see in most of North America. It's a completely different mindset, one that requires more discipline than is probably capable of being reached on this side of the pond. Cellphone and donuts...sins.

| has always been the same. Whenever we have a problem, like we now have with higher fuel prices, there is always someone with a knee jerk response. Trying to fix the gas problem with the 55 MPH speed limit is just silly. As it is said the very definition of fool is someone that keeps making the same mistake over and over expecting different results. | |

How well would you have accepted that? We were at war then and we are at war now. Today, we are advised by the Leftists there is less oil in the ground than ever. If it takes a National Speed Limit of 55 to conserve - who is the anarchist to object? Some talk of lane disipline, but who speaks out for speed discipline? Few musicians truly master their instrument and fewer drivers are qualified to aim the cars they buy, but they think they are qualified & therein lies the problem. Over confidence combined with under expertise.
