Every winter I see about a dozen accidents and the vast majority is either a SUV with AWD/ETS/STD/PMS/ABS/AA/ETC or one of the Mercs/Subs/Audis, just because you have an electronic nanny in your car doesn't necessarily make it safer. People are relying way too much on electronics nowadays to bother driving properly (the new trend now is the automatic blindspot warning system, I mean how f!@#$% lazy do you have to be not to be able to rotate your head for a second to verify that you are not plowing into someone, might as well give it a rest and just take a bus)
quoted for oh so much truth. Time to make getting a license a lot harder in the USA, it is just far too easy.
