Love the Chrsyler advertisement. Chrsyler obviously need to get their Mercedes parent company to help with EURONCAP given that the european Audi Q7 still got 4 stars despite rupturing firewall from "poor welding"!

The trouble is, given the lack of intelligence or common sense amongst the population at large, the bleeding obvious advice has to be dished out. A gentle walk on a snowy or icy day reveals some truly clueless driving (mashing the throttle to the floor in 1st gear, for example).

A friend had a delivery the day of the snow. The van driver had hit at least 4 things on his travels...

I suppose it's true. Never ceases to amaze me, the levels of stupidity around.

I can't help a twinge of Darwinism, though!

Well, when one is as intelligent as you and I, Nick, it can be a little difficult to comprehend that most people really are stupid.
