Other drivers are not really killing our rv experience, but I will say current trends in driver behavior keep me on high alert. Without a doubt, cell conversations, texting, youtube videos and everything else drivers are engaging with while rocketing down the roadways, is creating a tremendous hazard. I was recently rear-ended while at a dead stop. Sorry, but there's no excuse for that!
Another MAJOR hazard today, is people driving (at night) without turning on their headlights. Just last night, during my 15-mile commute, I witnessed about 10 vehicles without their lights on ... and we're not talking dusk. Think dark! A couple were on the freeway. Once I passed them, they were essentially invisible in my mirrors. Now, when changing lanes, you have to be able to spot ghosts.
However, I'm still comfortable hitting the road in the truck and camper and do so as often as possible.
