As a street bike rider, I'm always extremely aware of th' dangers
looming in traffic. When th' family is in th' cage, it's pretty much
a whisper or silence. I hate distractions. I take driving very
serious and sure as hell wish more people would do so as well.

I always thought that if I were to open an insurance agency,
I would only sell car insurance to motorbike riders. :^)

Short term insurance at highest rates, eh?

What brings you to that conclusion?

My solution is to have triple edged, razor sharp, barbed, serrated
daggers coming out of th' steering wheel, pointed at th' drivers
heart. They screw up, hook a tow truck up to whatever's left and haul
it, carcass and all, to th' crusher.

No seat belt laws, no cell phone laws, no speeding enforcement, just
pure Darwinism should do 'er.

Yep. Get rid of the airbags, ABS, etc.

No, ABS might keep them from rear ending us. BTDT, and the dock bumper
on my F-150 shortened a Toyota wagon by about a foot. The trouble is
making sure they're PAYING ATTENTION while they're behind the wheel.

Which part of "triple edged, razor sharp, barbed, serrated daggers
coming out of th' steering wheel, pointed at th' drivers heart." isn't
going to help focus attention? Uh oh, looks like you weren't paying
attention when ya read th' above g.
