I wonder if the driver of the ‘59 would have just avoided the wreck because he did not have a Nav system, satellite radio, cell phone, Blackberry, or a handful of fries to distract him while driving.
Also, back when people thought a car crash would KILL them, they tried much harder to avoid them. Now, they just figure they can walk away and sue for soft tissue injuries later.
That's true. Sometimes, I don't even drive on the right hand side of the road. What's the point?
It’s far more likely that the driver of the 2009 would have been able to avoid the crash because of the newer car’s far superior handling and brakes.
Man, you got that right. Along with no fault insurance we've ended up with hordes or drivers who would just as soon have a wreck as not to. Three people ran into each other at an intersection near me last week, two were on cellphones and the third was messing with his on board DVD. All three of them were running a red light or flooring it through an amber according to the witnesses. They'll all have replacement vehicles and the same insurance premium next week and be back at it.
