        <h3>Stage 1: No Zombies!!</h3>
        <p>
           Fatigue, impairment, or even a wandering mind as a result of
           boredom can render us into zombie mode. We can all agree that
           a typical shuffle-and-moan zombie would make a horrible driver.
           What helps me to avoid this syndrome is to actively go over
           defensive driving techniques in my mind when I find my
           thoughts straying too deeply.
        </p>
        <p>
           We should always keep looking, not letting our focus settle in
           any one place for more than two seconds. Intersections are the
           single location that have the most accidents, so it is 
           especially important to keep looking here. Scanning before 
           entering an intersection left, right, and then left again is
           crucial, whether from a stopped start or as we roll toward
           one.

        <h3>Stage 1: We Don't Have Antennas</h3>
        <p>
           Responsible communication not only includes
           properly using the lights and signals of our vehicles, but
           utilizing eye contact, hand signals, and visibility techniques
           for low profile motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles. The horn
           is probably the most misused communication device in our
           current vehicles. Often it is an after-the-fact, long,
           punitive honk; an expression of road rage. It is more
           valuable as a preventative tool. Covering the horn with
           our hand, and using short attention-grabbing honks when
           you really think someone <em>needs</em> to see you is a
           polite and valid way to say "Hey, look at me, I'm right
           here!". Never assume that someone sees you.

        <h3>Stage 1: Humans Need Help With This One</h3>
        <p>
           One does not have to travel far in a car to notice that
           proper following distance is something that humans really
           need help with. Googling <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=car+pileup&oq=car+pileup&gs_l=news">"car pile up"</a> shows what might be the result of poor following distance.

           I remember in my driver's education class, 
           the teacher had a braking reaction time simulator.
           We all took turns testing our reaction time. It was a fun
           game, but about as useful as those punching bag arcade games
           that test how powerful your punch is. Guiding a vehicle
           weighing 4,000 lbs or more around town is not a game, although
           it seems many if not most vehicles consider it to be so given
           the tightly-bound car packs you will see traveling around town or 
           on the highways.

        <h3>Stage 1: Cell Phones, Cell Phones, Cell Phones and Other
            Traditional Distractions</h3>
        <p>
           The goal with distractions <em>must</em> always be to not
           make excuses for allowing them into the driver's seat. It
           would be a very unusually disciplined driver that didn't 
           have room for improvement here. If we honestly apply three
           standards to potential behaviors, we will have our answer 
           as to whether or not it is a distraction.
           <ul class="dist_list">
               <li><strong>Visual</strong><span class="dist"><i class="fa fa-eye fa-2x"></i></span></li>
               <li><strong>Manual</strong><span class="dist"><i class="fa fa-hand-paper-o fa-2x"></i></span></li>
               <li><strong>Cognitive</strong><span class="dist"><i class="fa fa-cogs fa-2x"></i></span></li>
           </ul>
           Cell phones obviously are the primary culprit here, and 
           usually will be all three types of distraction. Behaviors
           need not be all three to be dangerous distractions however.
           Any one in and of itself can be unsafe. An LED state highway
