I was listening to the NASCAR race this weekend on the radio... there was a
15-car pileup at 200 mph, and everybody walked away from the accident.  So much
for the "speed kills" argument.

How can NASCAR drivers go bumper-to-bumper at 200mph without incident while Joe
Driver can't handle 70 on the open road?  Training and alertness.  Getting a
driver's license is a joke in America :-(
