I hate car accidents, I was in a couple when I was a child, I had 45 stitches in my face from one of them.

Good for MA. If CA officials haven't updated existing law to mirror MA in such a situation, they should. I was injured as a young child from my dad having to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. It was on New Year's Eve. He shouldn't have been driving. He pulled over and my mom drove us to the hospital. My dad's car was old, with a bench seat and spaced apart radio buttons. When he slammed on the brakes, I came flying over the front seat. My mother instinctively put her arms up to protect me, but one of the radio preset buttons went all the way through my lip and I received stitches at the hospital to close the wound. They also took X-rays....no concussion nor spinal issues. Teenagers have different ways of relieving anxiety. With me (and most of my friends) it was by driving too fast (albeit being unimpaired by anything but a lack of sense). I got in an accident at age 18, while a Freshman in college, and had a broken pelvis , a concussion, and a bruised kidney. This completely changed my approach to driving and my driving habits. Alas, some of the things some of we males do before our Frontal Lobe development is complete are monumentally stupid.
