Some years ago I was teaching at Texas Instruments. There was a new law about driver
education (this was in the early 1990s so I've forgotten some of the details) and
employers were responsible for seeing that employees took the special driver-ed course.
They insisted I take the course, because to be fair to employees, they also required all
consultants take it. My reaction was "I don't need the course; I know all there is to
know about safe driving in Texas: Don't Go Slower Than 80 In The Rightmost Lane Or You
Will Be Rear-Ended By The Slow-Moving Trucks".

It turns out that since TI wasn't paying me (the teaching company was paying me), I wasn't
an official consultant, so I didn't have to take the course.

As far as being in a vehicle, it was certainly one of the more terrifying
weeks of my
entire life. It even exceeded the taxi ride in Madrid where the taxi
driver was
tailgating a large truck at 60mph, with about six feet separating us.
