Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
An interesting note is that the German Autobahn is statistically much safer than US highways. There are far fewer crashes. However, when a crash does occur, I bet it is pretty bad.
The difference is that their cars don't have cupholders and people don't grab a big mac before happing on the autobahn. They don't talk on the phone while driving either. And a lot of their cars are all quite high performance models. Also, you must drive in the right lane, and pass on the left, and can be heavily fined for not doing so, or for driving too slowly. In Germany, driving is a skillful art, in the US, it is a passive annoyance.

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. - Akash Rastogi [more]
