Feeling safe in a motor vehicle is pretty much a fallacy. It's also worth considering that a high feeling of security may be at least partly responsible for some of the poor and aggressive driving we see. Being on two wheels makes me acutely aware of my vulnerability and forces me to be fully aware of my surroundings. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
