Driving the Speed Limit

During one 45-day stretch last fall, I received 3 citations for traffic violations: 2 speeding and 1 illegal U-turn. A few months ago, I received an official notice from the Virginia DMV informing me that if I got one more citation within 12 months then I would lose my driving privileges for 30-90 days. Since then, I have been driving like an absolute saint, consciously obeying every single traffic law (especially speed limits).

I have never felt more dangerous and vulnerable on the road.

Apparently, I'm not alone. This is a terrific video that shows what happens when a team of college students decides to drive 4 cars on a highway at 55mph ... side by side. Enjoy!
