A few years ago I had a 'flying car' come within about 60 feet of crashing through the roof of my van...
I experienced something similar many years ago when a Corvair passed me at a high rate of speed on a country road at night and then lost control and rolled over right in front of me and then slid to the side of the road. With empty beer cans lying all around at the scene, your possibility of "hazardous driver behavior" seemed quite obvious!
Personally, I doubt "flying cars" will ever become like "the family sedan". Maintenance requirements and legalities for cars and aircraft are completely different...and that means the overall cost for each operational "hour" spent merely driving would be quite prohibitive for most people.
