This might be long but please read so I can finally prove him wrong....
Okay so my BF has never had driving lessons. He drives with one major belief- when you break you are supposed to watch behind you to make sure the person doesn't crash into you.
Basically- If you are driving at any speed, and someone breaks due to traffic or a red light, you don't just break with traffic, you look in your rear view mirror and make sure the person behind can break too. So you can't just put on your breaks, you have to break, and SPEED up to make sure you don't get hit.
He thinks it is up to him not to get HIT from behind. He says that's what the rear view mirror is there for. I tried to explain to him that once you see the break lights come on in front of you, you should ease on the breaks. If everyone cautiously follows this rule it would reduce accidents.
If you have an opinion please please respond, I told him I would write on here and see what others' thought.....
