Um...... Wow..... I'm glad I haven't encountered any of those drivers.

Vehicles need to have less safety features. People are too confident with their safety features.

100% agreed.

It used to be in bad weather people ADJUSTED their speed and driving to suit the roads. Now with traction control, ABS, Air Bags and Seat Belts, Vehicles can handle the bad roads. (Drivers still can't)

My daily drive is a 1965 C20, No Power Brakes, No Power Steering, No Seat Belts, Traction control is the weight in the box. And yes come lousy roads I piss people off because I have to ADJUST my driving to the roads.

It's an Eye opener when you hit a pot hole on an icy and busy single lane highway. The pot hole will turn your tires, rip the wheel right out of your hands, and over correcting can be fatal. But its too much fun not to drive.

No power steering is a man killer. I guess it wouldn't be so bad in a pickup, but in a semi, it sucks.

C20 is a 3/4ton pick up.
I know. That's why I said that in a pickup truck it wouldn't be as bad. I have a 77 Western Star that has armstrong steering. Very difficult truck to drive around the yard.
