Interesting piece on Radio 4 this morning with a professor studying driver behaviour (John Adams?)
stating that with the seat belt law, ABS brakes and safer car design motorists get more confident
that they won't be injured in accidents and are thus a danger to more vulnerable groups on the road
- pedestrians, the old, children and cyclists. He reckoned the best way to reduce accidents would be
to replace airbags with metal spikes - which sounds reasonable ;-)
