Way OT, but so was the quote above...

A simple solution: make the max speed limit on any road 45 mph,
make 5 point harnesses and DOT/Snell approved helmets mandatory
even in your cars, and = instant reduction of vehicle fatalities by half
or better, imo.
While we are being draconian, install alcohol detector interlock starters
on every vehicle...fatalities down another 50% of that 50%.
I must have forgotten DocKewl's original thread topic...
