It's obvious you have no conception of what we're talking about.
Perhaps you can't read tags on passing vehicles but don't let that
fool you into believing others can't.  Perhaps this explains the
multitude of calls we receive from citizens WITH tag numbers of
suspect vehicles.

>Yes.  I'm discussing relative risk and you seem to be gravitating to what is legal.

Risk is something you can accept if it involves only you but
unfortunately on the highway it invariable involves innocent people as
well.  You have no right to voluntarily or involuntarily involve
others in that risk taking.  If you do and things turn unexpectedly
sour you'd best be prepared to accept the consequences including death
or injury and/or property loss and ultimately possible incarceration
or a lifetime of trying to pay off a huge monetary award levied by a
court against you.  And before you say it won't happen to you I
suggest you interview people to whom it has happened and see how many
of them thought it'd never happen to them either.  You share their
attributes.

>> That's easy.  The ones you don't see.

>Examples, Earl, examples.

Anything on the highway not moving in exactly the same direction and
at the same speed as you.   If it's there, someone can run into/over
it and the problems begin.

>This discussion has run its course,

Yes.

>and you can't refute my approach to safety with logic,

Some people learn the hard way.  Be sure and carry lots of insurance.
You're gonna need it.

Have a good week.
