Really? Typical of the generation not old enough to live here..... blame the emergency equipment. Try getting a REAR VIEW Mirror! Here's some instructions on how to use them:
Check your rearview mirror on a regular basis. Even if you are just driving straight ahead on an open highway, it's important to know what is going on behind you. This means you should be looking at your rearview mirror
every 5-8 seconds.
This will keep your understanding of the traffic conditions behind you up to date.
It will also allow you to keep track of cars that are passing you, and even cars that are acting sporadically or dangerously behind you.
