a statistically insignificant chance of getting hit head-on. Depending on traffic, and the demographics of the drivers, you could wind up having a better change of a median crossover collision than a head on on a super-two. -- Richie Kennedy www.route56.com * richiekenned...@gmail.com facebook.com/route56
