Ron and Gerben,

Driving distractions are pretty bad here. Gerben, your "S" class brings layered defense to the concept of "defensive driving"... They are beautiful cars.

I regularly drive late at night along a rural road. At least once or twice a week, I am behind a chemically distracted driver (usually alcohol...). The weaving and inconsistent speed changes are clear give aways.

Our area is a reasonably polite part of the USA. Once, I had a driver distracted by a cellphone dangerously cut me off in traffic near a stoplight. He got out of his truck, and walked over to my car to apologize!

Marc
