DECEMBER 2012 STARS IN TRAFFIC: A SALUTE TO THE NON-ABS, NON AIRBAG EQUIPPED COURAGE

Courage is something that is measured by deeds, not words but outside the race track you rarely see the term applied to drivers.

Unless they’re behind the wheel of an old car or truck.

New car drivers automatically assume that everything that’s on the road can stop like a 2012 Honda Accord.

Clearly none of them have ever driven a stock 1956 Ford in real traffic.

That’s why these Stars in Traffic embody courage. It takes courage to drive a car with drum brakes all around, vague steering and iffy handling in 2012 traffic.

It takes Hall of Fame courage to drive a Model T in that same kind of nightmarish traffic environment.

Have a look at various acts of courage in December 2012 Stars in Traffic.
