- Keep 4 seconds following distance - Look 4 seconds before changing lanes - Wait 4 seconds before pulling out from a stop sign - Check 4 times to your left and right before pulling into traffic But who's got the time to be safe?

i've heard of the first 3, it's a good reminder. i remember learning "look left right left" before pulling out into traffic. i think i like yours better

Unfortunately, people use the 4 seconds between you and the car in front of you to squeeze on in.

Are you ready for some football?

Which puts us in the tailgate mode so nobody gets ahead of us right? Who cares if they slip in. You have that room as a safety buffer so there is time to react when they do. Who cares if the car behind me gets mad when I backoff to regain my buffer.

You forgot the fifth 4. If there is an accident on the 347 expect to wait 4 hours before it is cleared.

Changing lanes is one thing, but some people are all over the place.

You forgot the 4 second gawking this morning when there was a firetruck/police vehicle/truck pulled WAAAAAAY off the shoulder of the road, yet forcing morning work commute to a crawl.

4 Secs at a stop sign I was told you just have to come to a complet stop. Your frount end has to come down and back up again (maybe this takes 4 sec's maybe less i've never timed it

You only have to come to a complete stop. On some intersections you can know within a second or two if the intersection is completely clear, without a doubt.
