apocalypsosPennsylvania's testing a dot system on the highways so that drivers will space their cars correctly in the hopes of reducing crashes.
And the great thing is, to assist with PennDOT's ridiculously idiotic hey-flip-a-coin-to-see-whether-or-not-we-patch-up-this-great-big-canyon-in-the-road system of highway construction, the dots will also keep you a safe enough distance behind drivers so that when the car ahead of you careens into a pothole in a move reminiscent of the car that drove off the San Francisco bridge during the '89 quake, you have sufficient time to put on your brakes and avoid going in after it, thereby saving yourself a scramble out the driver's side window and the use of a perfectly good parachute.
