Sure glad we don't have the "black ice" down here! It's bad enough when we get a smattering of rain....my buddy runs a small body shop and specializes in "fender benders".....most of which happen at under 30 mph and hit $5K. Just the front bags run a couple grand!
I get a kick out of all the safety tests at 45 mph and the EPA mileage tests on a dyno. We might be better served if they showed what happened during a head-on between 2 cars doing 80. Just another example of our "feel-good" society. Folks get the mistaken idea they can drive like maniacs and walk away from high speed crashes.
However, the politicians all seem to favor the big imports or SUV's. Guess they're the smart ones!!!! Ain't progress great????
