And they ask me why I think driving standards should be raised?

Get real here, pal.  Anyone who has any driving competence ought to know
that the rule is that you maintain a one car length distance for every 10
mph.  If you're so dense that you can't figure out that they're talking
about YOUR car in the equation, get off the road now.

Or run into a tree really fast, so that you don't kill anyone else with your
incompetent driving.
