My daughter wanted to lean to drive (That was many years ago,) She was going slowly and had to make a left hand turn. She started to turn the steering weal, just froze up, and drove off the rode into a tree. We were going so slowly that nothing was harmed at all.

I remember the Washing Square incident. It was horrible, but how can anyone engineer against driver freeze up?

My brother-in-law’s daughter was permanently disabled (almost as bad as Chrisipher Reeve ) when she was mowed down by a crazy guy. There were no deep pockets for her.

Here is a lawyer doing God’s work:

Note that the lawyer’s theory appears to be that any possibility of “driver error” is excused by the “lack of warning”. By that theory auto makers should refuse to sell a car to anyone who hasn’t taken and passed a 6 week course on every possible way to miss-use or mistakenly operate that car.

And why isn’t the state liable is well, they issue a driver’s license after supposedly testing the competence and knowledge of the driver.

I now take tongue out of cheek.

I find Foote’s story a little tough to swallow.
