Highway Safety for MADD & SADD

Interstate Highways- Our Safest Roads??

Yesterday, I was reminded how really unsafe it is to drive on our safest (?) roads. I took a 200 mile trip on I-4 in central Florida. In my book, Highway Safety’s Best Kept Secret, I wrote about my crazies to cops ratio.
While driving the 200 miles I counted 55 crazy, “life threatening” driver moves while spotting just a single cop. My crazies to cop ratio was 5500%.
Frankly, I have a theory about what most drivers have taught themselves on these “safe” roads. Most have learned to go way to fast while following way to close. A 5500% Crazies to Cop ratio screams why these bad habits are taught on our safest roads. Evidently, almost no one is enforcing the existing driving laws?
Next time you ride an Interstate, make your crazies to cop count.
The bottom line is, we get away with aggressive driving when there are no intersections like on our limited access interstates. The problem is we take these aggressive driving habits off the Interstates to the local roads where there is much more friction and dangers.
Yes, our limited access Interstates are safer, but it is also true we learn a lot of life threatening driving habits from the safer ride.
