Disregarding your obvious attempt at taking a personal shot...I think the poll is quite eye-opening and relevant. ;)

While we have a plethora of threads lamenting the driving of residents in TV, nearly 70% of the 76 folks (as of now) who voted consider themselves highly skilled...and far above average drivers.

So a strong argument could be made, that the message of the threads pointing out the failures of other drivers are either not getting to the people who need to see themselves as a problem driver....OR???? :shrug:

I think that the round abouts should be one lane, that would help a lot.

We are at the age, thru no fault of our own, when medical symptoms are the culprit! I witnessed this first hand, my Doug had a TIA, fortunately no one was hurt, and prior to this incident, was an excellent driver.

This poll is useless as mammary glands on a male bovine.

Everyone thinks they are good drivers and almost everyone isn't.

If you don't fall into the first group you are definitely part of the problem, because everyone else recognizes you as being worse than you see yourself.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

OR

If you put yourself in the first group, you are a problem.

I'll admit to a driving mistake and thankfully no one was hurt except my ego. Exiting Brownwood there is a median strip in front of the cart sales and repair place. When golf carts are parked in a line in front of this business it looks like a parking lot on the right and I went down the left side of strip thinking I was going straight. I was very lucky not to have a head-on crash but no one was coming the other way at that time. I banged a "U eeee" and I was quite shaken up that I made such a stupid mistake. I've seen that section of road at night when golf carts are not lined up on right and it's very obvious which way to go but when carts are parked there I think it's confusing. 2 of my neighbors admitted they have made the same mistake at that same spot. Anyone else have a problem in that area?

67% say they are very good drivers?
So how come only about 10% of vehicles in TV give direction signals!

Why bother with all the paranoid, terrified drivers who won't believe your turn signal and sit there and wait anyway?
