"cautious driving leaving plenty of room to brake" is just self-deception. No matter how cautious you are, you cannot control what others do. There is no telling when another driver will pull in front of you, run a red light in front of you, or have a blowout in front of you. You need to be able to stop in all types of unexpected circumstances, unless you don't mind killing yourself or somebody else.

I think we can "drive cautious" for maybe 20 minutes, and then we revert to our usual habits - traffic speed, answering the phone, eating a sandwich, wondering about the dogs at home, etc. How many times have you seen travelers "forget" they are towing and nearly hit another vehicle with their load?
When I work out stopping scenarios for our motorhome, I include a sudden rainstorm, a stopped semi around the corner, and a deer wedged under my front axle. I have encountered one of the three a few times. I figure two of the three, plus inattention to the details, could be a killer.
I was a real******driver when I was a kid. I walked away from things I probably shouldn't have. Now I try to make up for me and them!
