people who drive shitty old land rovers with no power steering still crash, even with the INERTIA, maybe its just a shit driver thing?

[quote="Landynut"]yeah i grew up thrashing cheap cars on gravel, mostly rolling them for fun or just generally destroying them (handbrake + swing the wheel and go sideways into a tree just to see what it feels like...)quote]
It feels like a brain injury!! and also explains so much

Not quite the same as saying it was soley the kids fault, but i see what you mean.
In reality (you know where we live, as opposed to the pc world governments live in, or the ratings and controvacy let world of the media) the article should have read:
A child who irresponsibly ran across a road after getting out of a school bus was struck by a vehicle as it passed the bus. The driver and passengers are being counselled after their traumatic experience and police will be interviewing both the bus driver and the child’s parents to ascertain whether the child was being properly supervised at the time.

The ones that rilly RILLY piss me off are the ones tempting Darwin by stooging around with their Ipods pluged in, persumably LOUD so the inconsiderate driver's engines dont interefere and thems are wearing hoodies so the light doesnt bother they dumbass eys.
Why please am I not Allowed to assist Darwin in removing them from the gene pool?
