- You have touched upon my own proposal for reducing the accident rate:
-
- 1) Outlaw all safety belts and restraining devices of any kind.
-
- 2) Require all cars to have a 4" metal spike mounted on the steering
- wheel, pointed directly at the driver's sternum.
-
- 3) Sit back and watch the collision rate drop to zero.
