If I don't see enough of the road in front of me I will certainly stay behind a slower car.
In driving school we learn you have to drive on sight or even on half sight, depending on the situation, and in dense fog you drive on half sight - slow enough to be able to stop the car in half the distance you see.
Some stupid people don't care, of course, they don't care that they are a danger for other people.

Oh no, that old country road is rarely used and one would have to wait half a day forv a car to come so that one can follow it. In that thick mist one would not see the car to follow as you can barely see your hand. But the job won't wait and one has to get there .
We don't have half sight teachings here and besides the reckless drivers don't even know the basic road rules, so will continue to make accidents like this one that we saw on our way home today.
Such is life here.
Cheers and thanks.
Reckless drivers are here too, and many more stupid drivers, but everybody knows how much speeding costs or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
My son has held his phone in his hand while driving last year and got caught. This time he really only held it and didn't use it, but that didn't matter to the colleague. Because his drivers license is still on trial (3 years Trial driver's license) the trial duration was extended by one year and additional to the fine of Euro 50 he had to attend a course (4 x 2 hours) which had cost 500 Euros ... for holding a smartphone.
There are accidents here, the bigger the town the more, but to be honest, I hardly see any.

During the first days of Easter they caught more that 80 drunken drivers on the roads here.
We have a shockinly great rate of terminal accidents here during easter and it's like a human butchery shop out there on the roads.
Well I bet you son will not touch a phone when he drives ever again 😜
Over here they confiscate the phone and you can get it back after paying a huge fine.
But you can also pay half of the fine in cash to the officer and then he will let you go.
Don't you guys have phone hands free kits over there?
My hands free phone is a Marian model because she operates the phone when I drive 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
Drunk drivers have become less here, but at times like Easter the numbers are increasing too.
You may think he doesn't use the phone anymore when he's driving. I thought the same, but he has only become more careful.
Our cars have a built in Bluetooth system - all hands free, so I have no idea why the kids don't use it.

Alcohol is responsible for many road deaths here my friend and it kills people of all colors.
The leader of the Rape Crisis Center told us that they were gald when alcohol was banned during the Covid lockdowns, as their rape cases were much less.
Those people have very tough jobs helping women and children that were raped and that's why Papillon supports the workers.
So yes, if I had my way all acohol use will be allowed for only 60 years old and older 😉
Oh! And Viagra will also be banned 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
Alcohol destroys so much and kills so many lifes. It makes fun to be together with friends and drink, but some can't stop and some become different people when they drink. I don't mind the fun part, but I hate it when normal people become violent under the influence of alcohol. So banning alcohol is a good idea :)
You think a 60 year old can handle alcohol? Well, I could tell you a story about the husband of my grandma. He wasn't my grandfather, only her husband and he drank and he was a very angry man...
I don't mind Viagra as long as I don't need it 🤣
Cheers and !BEER

Good morning Hannes,
Alcohol is a character change substance and dending on the state of one's sub-conscience, it can result in either love or hatred.
Unfortunately hatred abounds here in our country and most murders are partners that are killing their wives. A sordid state of affairs that forced the government to run GBV (Gender Based Violence) programs with long prison terms for the offenders.
Yeah, but I think that there are many more peaceful 60 year olds that have learned the dangers of alcohol. One will always get the odd ones out like your grandfather.
In my case, God's wisdom removed my father as he drank until his death.
Maybe they shouldn't ban Viagra, as nobody could fall pregnant above 60 and it may encourage love instead of anger.
Austrian mountain goats do certainly not need Viagra methinks 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
