A bad driver will sit too close to stop, a good driver will give adequate space

Hitting your brakes at the right time is crucial in driving?

If older drivers aren't worse, why are their insurance rates higher?

Actuarial tables don't lie. <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

A slow driver will allow enough stopping distance

An excellent driver rarely needs their brakes

I cant tell if hes trolling or not. I pray not.

And if you're talking about needing to use an emergency stop, yeah, such things happen when caused by other drivers

I don't think he drives

In which casr they're at fault

Yeah

Okay do you drive?

Good drivers predict the road ahead, leave plenty of space between them and the car in front, and try to estimate what traffic ahead will do

Yeah

4 cars and a motorcycle

And you rarely use the brakes?

Depends on how aggressive I'm being and where I'm driving

I dont think you should be allowed to man rofl

I have dumbasses cut me off and I need to slam on my brakes nearly every day

If you have a dash cam and you hit them, it's usually their fault

That's not the point

Rules vary state to state but generally if a driver forces another to perform an emergency maneuver or evasion, they're at fault and if the driver fails to evade or stop they're still at fault

The danger is not the person with the slow reactiob

Reaction

Like I said. By the time they realize they need to use "emergency stop" they have already hit someone. Their brain does not register it fast enough.

But the one forcing them into the hazard situation

So basically they have to pay because other drivers are putting them in dangerous situations?

No it's not hazardous. They have to stop sometimes and they cant stop fast enough.

It's not about fault, it's about responding to suddenly changing situations

Cutting someone up creates a hazard?

Being able to quickly react to everchanging situations while driving is mandatory.

If you cant react fast enough you dont get to drive. The same law applies to young drivers.

The older driver becomes a second hazard in addition to the asshole

Again we fall back to statistics, if older people are so incapable why don't they crash more than the fit, young, capable people?

They do

Actuarial tables don't lie

And also you're right, if a young person isn't paying attention and crashed into a guy who cut them up, the guy who cut them up is still at fault

Link?

Go find them. They're everywhere. It's well known that insurance rates go up when you get past a certain age

They go up, but the highest bracket by far is under 20s

It's high when you start driving and again goes back to high as you get older

And I mean by far
