To crash in Atascadero is redundant!


Check the mans cell phone; if he was using it at the time of the accident prosecute him for reckless driving.


If only there were some sort of restraint device in vehicles like a belt to hold you into your seat. That would prevent alot of injuries like the person in this story suffered.


Yeah, but then we would probably have to pass a law requiring people to actually use it.


Because once there is a law requiring something or even forbidding (owning) something everyone, even criminals, will stop it…..


The problem with that is you would be testing the theory of Darwin.
