A very old man pulled out in front of me yesterday. No cell phone involved. I understand that cell phone usage causes a lot of wrecks (I dont like to call them accidents). I don't think they they should be banned though. I think the penalty should be higher. Like maybe a $30,000.00 fine for being at fault while using a cell.
when I'm World Dictator I shall insist that everytime we make a new law , we also repeal one somewhere along the line

I'll always remember a time when a friend's mother was giving several of us a ride home from school on a rainy day. She pulled out from a stop sigh in front of a VW. My friend said, "Mom, there's a car coming!" Without looking, she said, "Oh, I can't see small cars."
Why do I strongly suspect said mother was driving an oversized SUV?

Well, Your Awesomeness, might I humbly suggest repealing TWO for every one passed?

It was a '49 or late '48 (similar body to the '49) Oldsmobile 4 door. Most cars back then were big enough to get up and walk around inside.

I this really a question? or is the question rather, do you care about the difference?

Ahhh....same sense of invincibility, just with WAAAAY more class and style. (and totally lacking in the sense of self-absorbed entitlement)

PS to Alscot...
My comment "Your Awesomeness" wasn't being snide...just felt it was an appropriate title for a World Dictator. Sometimes my sense of humor doesn't translate as well online, with no expression/body language cues.

I don't know the source of this quote and i do not mean to hijack this thread, but the quoted statement is patently false!
Look up diffuse axonal injury-head damage without a blow to the skull. Also neck injury is a very good possibility, That is a first hand observation as I underwent treatment for same as the result of being rear ended.
Check out "Leatt brace" also.
Sorry to barge in, but i have a strong aversion to misinformation being passed about.
