Well, let's see here. people don't start driving until they reach about 17 years old, and most people older that 75 don't drive either, so let's say that people have a driving life of ~60 years (a reasonable aproximation). What you have just stated is that we waste 2+ driving lifetimes to save 1 life. Hmmmmmmmm, sounds like something is wrong here. -- Stephen C.
