As usual, Miriam did a wonderful job presenting this topic. Many thanks to her for sharing her knowledge so freely with everyone and to Judy Curry for putting the event on.

Here's a few of Miriam's questions from "A Real Driving Test"-

At 65 mph, how far does your car travel in one second? 96 feet.
What can you do if you are about to be broadsided? Lean into the door being hit.
What can you do if you are about to be rear ended? Touch the rear bumper of the car ahead of you with your front bumper.
What is the tread on your tires for? Diverting water.

I snapped a couple iPhone pics during the event and uploaded them to the gallery (http://01fc956.netsolhost.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=167). I'm sure there are other better ones out there - will see about getting some of those online, too.
