5. I'm not sure about that. I know we NOTICE those who don't

follow the traffic rules. I don't know that they are in the majority, though. I rarely see what drivers who aren't passing me are doing. They're behind me. I know that I try very hard to follow traffic laws. I think your 80% estimate is way high.

I remember the guy in the SUV going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on a snow-covered road. I don't really remember the drivers who weren't doing such a dangerous thing. Really, most drivers that day were driving under the limit, maintaining good separation, and slowing down long before stop signs. I didn't really notice them, but I did notice the one guy in an SUV.

I remember the speeders on the freeway who blow past me far above the speed limit. I don't remember any of the drivers who didn't pass me as I drove along in the middle lane of a three-lane freeway.
