Anti-terrorist driving

On another post, Autoblog readers are sounding off on bad drivers, car accidents and driving pet peeves. I thought I’d add this little tidbit to the fire… Edmunds.com’s Jack Lanier posted an article yesterday detailing his experiences in anti-terrorism driving school. The line that sums it all up is this: “Look at traffic in your city filtered through the fact that some drivers are out to kill you.” Always a good habit, the driving school actually is similar to the anti-terrorist driving tactics class taken by military personnel over in Iraq. The class covered everything from how to ram a car to remove it from roadblock service to knowing when— and when not — to ram another vehicle. Interesting read, although I don’t suggest you read it for tips on how to get through rush hour this evening.
