Road Craft

 In this episode, can you drive faster than the useful range of your headlights? For sure. How fast is that? Probably slower than you think.

 Are you a good multitasker? That’s a trick question. There’s no such thing as multitasking.

You know what stopping distance is, but how good a judge are you when it comes to estimating it? Probably pretty important if you want to stop in time.

If where you look is where you go, then it’s pretty important to look in the right direction. That’s not just good advice, there’s science to back it up.

 Do you know what the legal limit is for impaired driving? What if I told you there isn’t one?

In this episode, yes, motorcycles are cool. No argument there. But can you handle it? I can’t.

Is GPS making us dumber? Probably.

Are touchscreen driver controls progress or a problem? I have some thoughts about that.
