I get that in public health. But in driving, what can you do besides signage and commercials? You only have drivers ed for most people and the occasional traffic school but that wont do much. I have gone to traffic school for a speeding ticket and didnt learn anything new or valuable. I am sure most people are just sitting there doing the bare min until they can leave. With driving you are so focused on the roads and other signs, I think this will help greatly. Only other thing would be to pull more drivers over going the limit or under in the passing lane. But at the same time signage doesnt always work. There are always a few dumbasses in the suicide lane the wrong way on 7th St and 7th Ave every day. Other than ticketing them and being hardasses on it not sure what can be done there.CalStateTempe wrote: From a public health perspective, signage is the lowest/weakest intervention to ants or iOS outcome.

If you really want to change behavior, you have to change the societal and built environment (socioeconomic factors) followed by incentives (changing the context by which people make healthy and safe decisions). (Cite:Friedan pyramid)
Recently having taking online traffic school (yes I speed, but no way my Tiguan was going 89 officer) I learned that much of the psychology of driving taps into individual competition.
It you be interesting to have an internal calculator that measures your average speed and other safe driving habits and reports to the insurance agency. Those that drive well have low rates, thoses that don’t, don’t.
It could buy a whole lot of school supplies, which would help since Republicans got rid of the tax break teachers got because they have to in many cases provide their own.PHXCATS wrote:$177,000 ain't gonna do anything for education

Only a complete fucking idiot would think that people who DON'T pay attention to traffic laws and when participating in traffic school WOULD pay attention to a couple road signs that they whiz by at 75mph on the highway.PHXCATS wrote: I get that in public health.

It was completely civil, actually. Maybe that word doesn't mean what you think it means?PHXCATS wrote: Way to be civil mod.

I think that belongs in the "Hero Cop" thread.UAEebs86 wrote:

Which will not be enforced, probably. I drove PHX->TOOs->PHX quite a bit during Covid, and that trip back into PHX was sketchy AF as it went from 3 to 2 lanes to cross the Gila. I saw many accidents, near misses, and cars in the median with rollovers to avoid a rear-end collision. The semis were not the problem! It was all the non-commercial jackwipes going way too fast, tailgating, and not paying attention. I felt lucky as shit every time I arrived home in Phx.Merkin wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:19 pm TUCSON, Ariz.

Until recently, I did that drive frequently too. From my perspective, a lot of the problem was trucks passing at 65mph and jackass left lane campers. On a busy, narrow stretch of road like that, it's pretty damn important to let people by.Osborn wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 11:58 amWhich will not be enforced, probably.

Porsche has never been one to shy away from making rare models. We’re talking models where less than 10 have been produced, like the 964 Turbo Cabriolet and the 993 Speedster. Among these rarities is a particular Porsche that wasn’t actually a Porsche at all: the VW T3 B32. It doesn’t look like a Porsche, it’s not badged as a Porsche, but it will definitely sound, like a Porsche.
