YOUR QUESTIONS - MY ANSWERS
Welcome,
I have books and other sources of information pertaining to safe driving. I also have many years of experience on which to draw for some of my answers to your questions. However, I am falible and open to additions and corrections.
It will be my pleasure to respond to you personally if you provide an email address. You may also write to me at: chum@meyerslink.com

CRASHES = PROFITS
Dear Driver,
Have you ever thought about the number of people who would benefit financially if you crashed your car? And, horror of horrors, that those people not only hoped and waited for the crashes, but were also able to affect the numbers and kinds of crashes on our country's roads!
What? Am I some kind of nut, or what?
Check out this list and realize that it does not cover all the beneficiaries of crashes. (Lots of the beneficiaries are purposely under cover.)
1. All the people involved from the moment of the crash until the roadway is cleaned up and traffic is moving smoothly again. Police and Fire department personnel, ambulances and medical personnel, tow truck companies, clean-up crews, news reporters and photographers,
2. All the people in the car repair industry, including their suppliers of parts, paint, tires, glass, upholstery and cloth and plastic materials, and radios, CD players and automotive electronics. And the suppliers to those suppliers, the manufacturers of those items down to the very steel mills that supply the metal to the car manufacturers that make replacement fenders, bumpers, chassis components, and the like. And also all the people in the parts, paint, tire, and glass industries.
3. The Medical and Health Care industries and their professionals, their suppliers and maintainers and employees. You can figure out all those people out for yourself.
4. The insurance industry relies on crashes as much as it does on hurricanes. If there were no crashes, noone would need insurance. This huge industry employs millions of people to perform all of the necessary steps involved from initial investigation of the crash through to fighting off paying for the damage and harm done in the crash.
5. Following insurance companies and crashes, for your benefit and detriment, are armies of lawyers and their personnel.
6. In the crashes that cause death, we need the mortuary people, the casket and urn manufacturers, the cemetary people from grave diggers on down to the bill collectors. And flower suppliers, wow! (By the way, there is competition between those who want you dead from the crash so they can bury you and those who want you injured in a crash so they can take care of you.)
7. And then, who else but the automobile industry standing alertly ready to sell you a new car and sell your totalled vehicle to people who repair them or scavenge them for parts. And they also make billions of dollars on replacement parts to repair you car.
Now, I wrote that there are people who can affect the numbers and kinds of crashes on our country's roads. Who? All of the people who make money from crashes buy politicians who create laws or disapprove of legislation that may make driving safer. (No politician from Michigan ever voted for anything that cost the automobile industry a dime!) They also vote for safe roads - or not! How can they do that? Easily! Poor roads, poor signage, poor car construction and lack of inclusion of available safety features, AND POOR DRIVER TRAINING AND TESTING PROCEDURES AND DEADLY LICENSING STATUTES AND PROCEDURES.
That's it for now. I want you to think about this one thing before I hang up; smoked glass on rear windows removes an important warning safety feature on cars. WHY? And why has it been allowed? And who pushed for it to be allowed?
Safe driving,
