dear tire (d) people
like i said it was only a safety video by *Michelin Tires
no need to heed the warnings from any agency offering solicited or
unsolicited advice-
monthly i see people shrugging at signs warning against traveling through an
area with active blasting operations
and it is well known that in British Columbia alone on an average of every 3
minutes -
there is a work place injury - and from what i can infer from the penalties
-
many have to do with blatant disregard of posted safety procedures -
so by all means disregard the warnings of designers and product
manufacturers
- heck - i have been known to drive faster than posted speed limits from
time to time -
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
