I am talking about all intersections, even those on small sides streets, not just the major interstates.

Cuts both ways, I'd rather deal with an occasional timid numpty than the oblivious ones that just barrel into them without merging correctly. They both suck, but only one of those are a danger to my good driver discount.

Update your dossier, you're about a decade off. Roundabouts are increasingly common in America.

Look at driving test results. Men are alot more likely to pass on their first try.

What does that have to do with safety? Men are more confident drivers but it's an incontrovertible fact that they're far less safe than women lol.

The study, in Injury Prevention, found that, per mile traveled, trucks and buses were involved in the largest number of fatalities involving others on the road, and motorcycles were about twice as dangerous to other road users as cars. Bicycle riders were involved in the fewest fatalities to other people.
But compared with women, male drivers of cars and vans had twice the rate of fatal accidents per mile driven. Male truck drivers had about four times the rate of women truckers, and men driving motorcycles almost 12 times the rate of women motorcyclists. For bus drivers and bicycle riders, there was little difference between the sexes.

But are there differences in how long the average man or woman works? One has to keep in mind that lack of sleep kills in many ways

Men are more likely to drive while impaired, drive without using seat belts, to speed, and to have fatal accidents
Even insurance companies acknowledge that men are less safe drivers

I mean the man made variety of women.

Lol, cloverleaf is the worst interchange design. Stack is better though more expensive to build. Diamond is probably best in terms of safety and cost.

How would an insurance company know if the applicant is FTM?
When I applied for my insurance in person they did not ask me to drop my pants and show anything.

Inconvenient fucking circles. No, I do not fear them. Yes, I am slightly annoyed by their existence.

I'm not, but since there is a choice, I'd prefer to just keep moving. Why is that bad?
