Simply put people are ignorant and uneducated when it comes to driving on the nations highways.if 2 cars hit head on, both going 60 mile per hour, what is the impact speed?

information regarding airbags?
Tell me someting when was the last time you actually obeyed a yield sign? the last time you actually used your turn signal?How many times have you passed a truck in a construction zone approaching a single lane "because you didnt wanna get stuck behind a truck",how many times do you ride in the left lane for miles and miles.Even though the law clearly states driving in the left lane is prohibited except when passing.If a truck was to stay in the left lane for more than 2 miles we would get a $200 ticket for "failure to stay right".Yet its ok for cars to do it at free will.

i want was the most kill the high way by drunk driving?
yes, you are right. i put my money on the truck also.Has anyone with an autistic child been pulled over for not having the seat belt on "properly"?
I don't know that they are messing with you. Many people are very nervous driving around such a big truck because they are worried the driver won't see them or something. They are probably just doing whatever they can to pass you.apparently most drivers don't understand this and are ignorant!....I was taught by my hubby who happens to drive a quad to stay far enough behind, and if I do pass give the truck driver at least 100 feet before I pull back into the lane. I am also courteous enough to flash my lights when a truck driver is in front of me and wants to get into the lane I am in to let him know it is all clear. it is common sense...I personally don't want to be flattened by a truck.
Sorry! But most people out here don't now how to drive, - even though they have a liscense! And there are a bunch out there, - who won't live long enough to find out how!!
Part of it is the "I want what I want", - and "I have a right" mentality that our modern education gives people nowdays! When I got my liscense (1952), - I was made to know that your car is a "deadly weapon" and you can use it to kill somebody else, - or kill yourself with it! At least 15 of my classmates in high school "proved this out" in one or both scenarios! However the other 135 of us took it to heart,-as most of them are "still alive"! Now "the young ones" think we should be taken off the road,- because we drive too slow and too cautiously! Well "duh!" -how do they think we got this old??
Over 45,000 people die on the highways every year in the United
States,- and there seems to be an endless supply of them!
