When I moved to Texas in 99 the legislature had just passed a law that
said the driver could not be drinking and driving. Made it kind of hard
to measure distances then on your travels ("Thass about a 3 beer trip")
Then the next year they banned the passengers from drinking too. Then
sometime later I think the seatbelt law was instituted, then a law that
said you couldn't have those things surrounding your license plates
(which was done to give cops an excuse to pull you over "just because")
and that got rescinded the next year because the voters actually howled
in outrage.
Now if they could just get the "guest workers" and their extended
families to learn about drivers' licenses, insurance, the actual process
of driving, using seatbelts (It's a cultural thing), and not putting 15
people in a vehicle, that might make things even better.

Well according to that bit of crap the insurance companies and the
highway mob are solely responsible for advancing automotive safety in
the last 50 years.
And here is MB and other manufacturers claiming that they developed
safety systems, tsk tsk tsk.
What did I read in another post, only a couple of months ago Texas
decided that seat belts safe lives. If the insurance companies and the
highway mob reckon that they have any bearing on car safety they are
fn dreaming.

To celebrate their 50th anniversary, the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety crashed a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air into a 2009 Chevrolet
Malibu. The video speaks for itself and makes the need for crumple
zones obvious.
