This takes the cake........
QUOTE According to Joe Osterman, director of highway safety at the NTSB, the recommendation was inspired in part by a tragic auto accident involving a 86-year-old man who drove his car into a crowded Santa Monica farmers’ market last summer, killing 10 and injuring 63. Osterman said a black box in the car might have not saved the people in the crash, but would have allowed investigators to find out how it happened and how cars could be better designed to reduce the likelihood of greater injury in the future. Here is the quick fix rather than using a bullshit exuse to monitor what everyone is doing and how they are doing it. Keep anyone over age xx that cant prove that they are cognative behind the wheel of a freaking car from getting/renewing thier drivers license. How bout that just from a common freaking sence standpoint. In the above situation, I garangoddamntee that that old man had no fooking idea what was going on around him. Probably couldnt see past the hood of his 74 lincon continetal. The guy shouldnt have been behind the wheel in the first place. Sorry but this kind of stuff gets me all wrapped around the axle. |
