...where the heck do you drive? On your own private roadways or something?

...sorry, but the public roads accommodate both the Good, the Bad and the Ugly and defensive driving is merely one tool in a drivers toolbox which other drivers haven't learned or used.

..."be aware" is an excellent guideline, but will NOT stop someone from blindsiding you when they've lost control of their vehicle.

P.S.--I actually prefer staying off of congested highways for all the above reasons, but (unfortunately) idiots are "...everywhere..." not just on the highways. And, yes, I treat every driver as a possible "threat" to my safety.
