Accidents Don't Just Happen
I've been blogging for a few months now and although I try to keep the subject matter centered around the Town Of Weymouth, I have found myself opining about other subjects as well. The subject of driving a motor vehicle and the surprisingly controversial complications that come with it keeps appearing in the news headlines. Not too long ago, I commented on the issue of driving while using a cell phone and elderly drivers. Now it appears that bad driving habits have struck close to home.

Remember Mr Whitmore! Let's bring back the Smith cushion, that great spacial buffer of fluid traffic dynamic civility that allows the room for chance events NOT to devolve into destructive accidents.I can't tell you how many times the Smith cushion has saved me. And even when nothing remarkable happens, the concentration it takes to maintain a healthy Smith cushion requires the kind of awareness of the road conditions that further avoids accidents.

Mr. Whitmore was a great teacher and person. Nothing replaces good training as long as you practice what is taught and learn to use it in everyday life.
