> A word of wisdom for all those driving with small kids in the back seat: Please let them fuss or cry and pay attention to the road. A lady ran a stop sign, broadsided me, and flipped my van today. I'm pretty sure it's totaled but I'll find out tomorrow. :( I had my kids in the back seat too. Thank God we're all okay! Sorry to hear that! Was the woman distracted by her kids? Homer Simpson had a good idea when he designed the perfect parents' car. Perhaps a soundproofed compartment in the back? I have had this problem myself (fortunately without accident) but am guilty of having caused my father to run into a snowy ditch in the Edmonton countryside a few decades ago. I'm sure that a LOT of very nasty accidents are caused by this! -- Regards Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Mollusc, Toyota & VW van fan |
