My best friend and I were discussing this article " [Here’s One Simple Tip for Faster, Safer Winter Driving](https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a30151292/winter-driving-tip/)" because we found it baffling that the author would believe that adult drivers need the key piece of advice in it: > Rather than watch the bumper of the car you’re following on the highway, or a guardrail between you and steep cliff, look further in time. Fix your eyes on the middle of your lane, at the spot you want to be several seconds later, even if that means ignoring the car in front of you. Your peripheral vision will still catch any unexpected braking or road debris. Um, duh? This one one of the very first things we went over in driver’s ed, before we even had a single road lesson. We both took driver’s ed in the same state, though, and it is indeed one of the snowy states the author is concerned about, so we got to wondering if this is something skipped in non-snowy places? That didn’t really fell plausible to us because surely this is relevant at all times, not just bad weather, but you never know… So let’s see. As a new/learning driver, were **you** taught to focus your sight where you want to be in a couple/few seconds rather than immediately in front of you? Please consider driving lessons from drivers’ ed instructors and/or other adults who helped you learn to drive (I realize not everyone took drivers’ ed, but everyone got taught by someone). Snows some/a lot = you were reasonably expected to drive in snow sometimes Rarely/never snows = no one really expected you to learn how to drive in snow because baring a freak occurrence (say, twice a year or less) you probably wouldn’t have to _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/391))_ ---

Using **DCnDC** ’s hypothetical again, but different: If you were charged with a crime you didn’t commit, but faced life in prison if convicted (prosecutor has a _somewhat_ solid-looking raft of evidence against you), versus just 1 year in prison if taking a plea deal, what do you do? (Granted, I can’t imagine a crime with such a wildly disparate gap between conviction and plea deal, but it’s the hypo.) _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/400))_ ---
