I've seen it suggested in a half-joking manner that we ought to replace
the car's airbags with a large spike mounted on the steering wheel pointed
straight at the driver's chest. People will drive more carefully and get
into fewer accidents. Personally I'll be keeping my airbag, though....


After riding motorcycles extensively in my teens and twenties I have
returned to riding as a fuel saving measure. I can tell your that when
riding a motorcycle with none of the safety devices found on automobiles, I
ride EXTREMELY defensively.

BTW, I DO NOT reccomend anyone try to learn motorcycle riding as an adult.
Youngsters learn faster...... and heal faster.
