GG, wasn't doubting that at all. I'm guilty of "cross-threading". I was venting that there are those people who feel they know more than the experts, and they should do "whatever makes them feel comfortable". To my mind this is a formula for anarchy. After all, we have seen posts within the last few weeks that expressed exactly that sentiment. One person stated he always goes to the 3rd exit of a RB in the outer lane because he is "more comfortable" doing that. Another just today posted they do not proceed to make a left turn and just hold up 20 cars behind them when it is a flashing yellow arrow because they are "more comfortable" that way, or the "feel that is best" We have pretty succinct laws and rules that cover most situations, and in their absence a lot of credentialed experts who give a consensus. This really doesn't leave a lot of room for individuals to "decide for themselves" what is best based on their own misguided opinions or personal feelings.
Of course, when I pointed this out on another thread I practically got my head handed to me because I used an example that many hold strong feelings about. Mea culpa.
End of rant.
