And would you equate the usefulness and convenience of time bombs buried in your garden, and motor vehicles, BW?
Yes. That would be the difference, except that many of the traffic accidents that kill, hurt and maim people are avoidable if people did some of these four things – advanced driving, take more care, slow down in hazardous places, or drive less miles. Any way is OK with me. But I can’t get people to learn, take more care or use the car less, human nature being what it is. So the option remaining is to slow down.

If you follow that philosophy, you could run out into a busy road and get it over and done with - but most people want to live long lives.

Also if you take your use of the roads seriously, look where you're going and don't accept lifts from drunks and people without licences, your chances will be a damn sight better than 1 in 200.
Yes, Peter, and even better again if we keep the speed down to reasonable levels!
O-oh – after that last comment, I can sense a broadside being prepared by The Agnry Mne! But before you fire it, fellows, just remember the warning we have had from the Main Man – no more Ad Hominem, or else!
