My 1970 still has four drums and I keep saying to myself, would you people see what I am driving, does it look like it stops on a dime? But new drivers who are cutting you off don't think that way, they assume everyone can stop as fast as they like.

This is a very true statement. When everyone had old style brakes they drove completely different and realized others couldn't stop on a dime.
Apparently there are still some vehicles without power steering because I don't know how many times I about had my left front side swiped when people shave a left turn. Or is that just me?
