I grew up in town and took driver's ed. in high-school. I watched the movies themed on safe following distance and had to do the assigned calculations on stopping distance at various speeds. Now, I take care of people, many with their spines ruined for life from causing rear-end, auto-collisions. I do not follow close and when I see brake lights, however far ahead, my foot goes on the break pedal. My wife will urge me to move up, close the distance, as though following closer will get us to our destination sooner. My wife grew up on a farm and learned about driving on rural roads. She didn't take driver's ed., follows close, cannot be convinced to back off and applies the breaks when she feels it's time. The only thing which keeps her out of the hospital is dumb luck and the skill of drivers around her. I'm not comfortable in the car when she's driving (sometimes, just plain scared) and I'm always relieved when she gets home intact. I feel better for writing this. I know people who took driver's ed. will follow close and are casual with the break pedal, but she never had it drilled into her and I can't talk to her about it. She just won't have it.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
