I kind of doubted there was sixty million people in Scotland, more like
five million. With so few people is it really that crowded? There were
around 20,000 road casualties in Scotland last year (sorry I said deaths
before, that was incorrect), even with the short distances driven there
don't you think better designed roads would cut that 20,000 figure down?
Your fortunate in that you don't have many opurtunities there for high
speed head on collisions to occur. A quick look at used cars for sale
in Scotland shows about 8-10,000 miles per year on them, I drove about
that much last month.

You have already illustrated you misconceptions about what causes a
vehicle to roll over. I don't need any further clarification. You are
still quite irrelevant to this discussion.

You are delusional if you really think that. I think we just met the

The proper question to ask is, over the next 2, 20, 30, 40 years how
much the numbers *would* have increased had we not taken a stand?
Neither you nor I can answer that with any certainty at this point, and
we certainly can't afford to sit around doing nothing to wait and find
out.
I'm glad that your attitude wasn't prevalent in WWII after we were in it
only 6 months. By the numbers, lots of money had been spent, and deaths
only increased. So I guess we should have pulled out. I wonder what
our lives would be like now. Idiot.
