Safe drivers?

I saw an article declaring that All State Insurance did a study of
accidents to name Cedar Rapids, Iowa as #1 of Safe Drivers and Des
Moines, Iowa as #2.

The opinion columnist said the reason we are safe drivers in Des Moines
is because we brake for jerks who cut us off. We also pause when the
green light allows us to go because we are sure someone will run the red
light on the other side. He said the study ignored the fact that 1 in 8
drivers do not use their turning signals. Plus one can not hit much
during traffic jams when one is moving 8 mph.

I agree with the columist. Many people drive with the philosophy of
"Please don't hit me" where I live and are not in hurry so few have road
rage. We like to get to our destination in one piece. Jerks can get
pulled over by the police. Post later. Bye!
