Yes there are over 600,000 deaths a year.

We are lucky that The Daily Mail doesn't write headlines about all of them.

If your 3% comes from diving 330 by 10,000 you've made an assumption that EVERY heart attack takes place in a car.

standard of some peoples driving round here i wouldn't be surprised!

I just do not buy this "accident" thing. Crashing is optional.

Weird.I was just thinking this on the ride home tonight.If you concentrate and try and anticipate other peoples mistakes and next moves then it does help a lot.


That makes me look like a twit.Obviously I wasn't concentrating (fully) if I was thinking this.

i crashed into another car once, all I did was bring the clutch up
that moved me onto the ice on an off camber junction and I slid across it sideways into the back of another car that had done the same

unfortunately for me, i'd not seen the other car do it, it looked like it had parked in a rather daft place. the gritters had been out and it was a lovely sunny day, the road i'd driven along was nice and dry, no ice at all

as far as I can figure out, the only way to avoid it would have been to use a different road, get there before or after the other car had been and gone.
