[QUOTE="Horny4TCU, post: 2980644, member: 29688"] Reading [USER=74053]@Francis Xavier[/USER] posts gives me little hope for the future... No offense. Your heart is in the right place, but why are you so willing to give up your own liberties for Darwin award winners? Your logic: "Reduce speeds for everyone, because a bunch of people don't follow the law. If they won't follow the law, reduce the speed of cars for everyone." We have speed limits, people don't follow them. We have rules and laws for driving a car, people don't follow them. What makes you think more laws (less liberty and freedom for everyone) would make a difference? Do you really want to make a difference about vehicle deaths? Stop driving. And get other people to stop driving as much. Change peoples' habits with a tax rebate, if they drive under 100 miles a week they get money. Less people on the road and an incentive/choice to follow something you don't have to, but to benefit you do. Or lower EPA standards... why pray tell? The way auto manufactures have been able to meet EPA standard is by lowering the weight of cars. Plastics and composite parts have replaced many components. Steel frames, have been replaced by aluminum. Frankly, give me air bags and seat belts in an old steel car, then let me get into an accident with a current model car. I'll take my chances in the improved safety and steel. [/QUOTE]
