Good points. I would just say before halting the beating of that dead ol horse.

Some drivers are more skilled than others. When a throttle sticks and like the fella I described handled it without loss of life...it’s a chalk it up experience.

When a woman with kids in the back is suddenly faced with a situation like described and it places their lives in danger...it really kinda passes the less important test.

Good debate...thanx.

I agree. Excellent debate.

I have to confess that I used to watch a LOT of those “crash compilation” youtube videos. My take on this whole thing is that the core problem is that it is way too easy to get a drivers license. I think we should adopt something like the German model.

And with modern driving computer games, there is no reason why they could not create a very realistic driving simulator with everything from bad drivers pulling out in front of you and mechanical failure.

i.e. the weak link in most cars is the driver. We really could fix that a LOT.
