This reminds of a tv show about car safety and safety in general I saw once...

One expert noted that as we made cars quiter, with airbags, antilock brakes,
better handling, etc etc drivers tended to use up much of those safety gains by
becoming more aggressive drivers...because all those things made a car "feel"
safer and therefore people pushed the envelope farther.....

And he observed that probably the best thing one could do to improve car safety
would be to put a big metal spike sticking outa the steering wheel pointed
towards the driver

A safety device does NO good if you count on it to always work and use it as an
excuse to do things you wouldnt do if you didnt have it in the first place....

take care
