But the car held up well. As far as the seatbelt thing goes: I've worked in insurance in some form or another for 10 years now. I have seen HIDEOUS things. The difference in carnage between accidents with people wearing and not wearing seatbelts is hard to describe. Some examples? Well if you insist. Femurs pushed out of their sockets and driven up into the abdominal cavity, multiple people going into or through their windshields and getting cut up in process, people going rag doll after being ejected, people going head down in a roll over and having their neck pinned back (breaking it) or pinned forward (asphyxiating them over a 10 minute period). Is it a personal choice to not wear a seatbelt? ya probably- but it's a stupid choice. As far as a the manual or auto debate goes, just yesterday I actually saw a guy eating with his right hand with his left hand crossed over his body to shift- he was either not steering or using his legs. So idiocy is beyond transmission types. |

I've seen a few like that, I remember one guy that did not wear his seat belt almost naked from all the clothes being torn up and/or come off by the asphalt and he kept asking what happened over and over and over. He was lying in a pool of blood covered by road rash staring into space, you'd figured he would be in agonizing pain but that was his only response. I'm sure he probably died if he did not hes a vegetable somewhere or at best a quadriplegic. The car actually looked worse than in those pictures. It was a Honda and it literally disintegrated after hitting a tree.

We need better and more stringent driver's education classes and driver testing. I think I am going to start carrying a stack of Driver's Ed books and leave them under people's windshield wipers if I catch them doing something stupid. Maybe they'll take the hint...

I dunno if you know just how appropriate that picture is! In Japan you only leave chopsticks sticking up out of a bowl like that if it's for a funeral.

That really depends on the situation, for every rolling roadblock there's a an idiot who doesn't think you're passing fast enough and tries to whip around you while you're closing on another car. That ticket belongs to the passer.
