Re: Model A CRASH??
Safety and new cars.
Cars today are very safe, maybe too safe. Years ago I was talking to a family friend who owned an Unlimited Hydroplane". The year was the last year his boat could have an "open cockpit". I was curious as to what He thought about gong all "closed Cockpit".
His answer was a surprise. " I don't like the rule" he said, "The reason is, now all these drivers will become fearless!". "They will never lift their foot off the gas pedal, because the fear of being hurt wont be there any more". He said, "And I can't afford the medical costs and the $1 million dollars to replace the boat"
Since they went closed cockpit, the Unlimited speeds have really increased.
New cars are there now. People know they are protected and drive that way. In MY opinion. And with the other stuff inside the car to distract todays driver, the combination is deadly.
Put a driver in an open car, sitting on a five gallon bucket, he will not drive fast, or text!
