    I think the reason folks are crashing with abs is because they do not know how it works or why it is even there. Heck or if it is even there. A certain number of the population are just stupid & you can't fix stupid. There is no training involved in getting your license in the USofA. The money spent on some of the safety devices would be better spent on improved driver training.

    Makes me think about self driving cars. I can't believe they think the "driver" will actually pay attention to take over control if needed.

    Over a hundred years ago we had self driving vehicles with auto-pilot, navigation that knew the way home, and self correction that would take over if you were too drunk to drive .

    You couldn't drive into a brick wall even if you tried.

    Then we got rid of the horse.

    I agree with that because there is always some catastrophe somewhere and human idiots abound. It's called natural selection. I have seen the economy going downhill for a while and I don't see it changing for a while. It seems like the gov't wants to pick on the lower middle class. I'm tired of paying and I'm the most generous man I know. And more people are getting upset and the upcoming election may determine if the country goes bankrupt or goes on to World War 3

    And don't get me started on drug testing...
