Saffs, my condolences to you and their families. I appreciate the reminder to keep it slower on the road. Fortunately, I've found age, marriage, and kids slowed me down. You tend to think a lot more about the possibilities.
Also, I've found the average driver on the road is totally incapable of judging the speed of another car and will pull over, change lanes or what ever in front of you. When I hit an animal late one night in my BMW, I realized no matter how good a driver I consider myself, the unplanned pothole, tire retread, or animal can change things quickly.
Reading these posts, it is really surprising the number of board members that have either been involved in deadly accidents, or have a close relative or friend that has. I wonder if this high percentage is representative of the general public. I can't believe we'd see the same numbers on a minivan web site. I don't think so. Saffs, if members take your thread to heart, you may never know how many you have just saved from injury or worse.
