The bull*** meter has just gone off the scale.

No Roger, it's been widely observed in action. "Risk" by John Adams is,
I understand, the recommended text. Since you're so dismissive of what
is actually observed in the world as opposed to what you've decided
ought to be observed there's not much point continuing.

I changed my driving habits when I realised I was rationalising my
existing behaviour by any amount of hearsay and invention and very
little in the way of good evidence. Since I changed I'm more relaxed,
don't get very much delay compared to trying to go faster, have had
fewer near misses and those I have had would have been less serious had
they actually gone really wrong. I have several years of each driving
style to compare one with the other, I *strongly* suspect you're just
comparing what you do with a thought experiment which isn't supplied
with much in the way of a good hard data set.
