The more nanny-stuff that gets perpetrated does not really
make folks safer in the long run. Air bags, seat belts,
ABS, traction control in cars simply encourages folks to
drive like nuts. They figure that because they paid a lot
for some big SUV they're invulnerable and can drive around
with impunity, not paying attention to what they're doing.

Obviously, that's a bad attitude. Soccer Moms are the worst,
but this guy is right up there with 'em.


This is what happens sometimes:

Did all the nanny-state stuff save that guy's bacon?
I doubt it. It probably contributed to the crash,
because he felt invulnerable.

Eez pozzible.

That is ABSOLUTELY the wrong way to load lumber into a pickup.
He can't see his right rearview mirror and there's no red flag
on the tail end of his load.


Thats absolutly the wrong way to tow a pickup with a logging truck,
too.
