"According to previous reports, Christiano and her son were traveling down U.S. 78 when a Ford Mustang pulled up close behind them in the center lane. She reportedly motioned for the Mustang to go around, but he fired multiple shots instead and drove off."

Alright well forget the 4 year old daughter stuff. Apparently even if you're in the proper lane and not trying to block people from passing you, you'll get shot at anyway. I'm thinking I should start a bulletproof auto glass business.

Maybe we really do deserve forced autonomous cars.

You really don't think there's nothing you can do to lower your risk of being shot, in a broad manner?

Lower, sure, but nothing can reduce it to zero. There will always be someone who reacts irrationally, so no amount of rational prevention can prevent that.

E: Was it unnecessary for the shooting victim to play speed patrol? yes. is it appropriate at all to bring that up in the context of how the shooting could have been prevented? no.

It's too bad they don't make some simple device that could have prevented that sort of thing. Maybe something that could be stuck in front of the tires on the trailer or even something that could brace the rear edge of the trailer to keep it from tipping. Sadly, such simple devices don't exist, so this sort of terrible thing will continue to happen.

Fed up with Volkswagen getting all the headlines, our local GM branch have decided to seize the news agenda http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/oct/22/vauxhall-investigates-spontaneous-combustion-of-zafiras



quote:

Vauxhall is investigating more than 100 reports of its cars catching fire without warning while on the road.

The British car company said it was taking the spontaneous combustion incidents involving its Zafira B seven-seater model made between 2005 and 2014 “very seriously”. The company has offered customers a free check-up with a Vauxhall dealer and confirmed it would take further action.

More than 130 owners have reported overheating problems behind the glove-box area, including three mothers whose children were in the car when the vehicle caught alight.

Vauxhall said in a statement that it had carried out an investigation. It said: “While the number of incidents is very low in proportion to the number of vehicles on the road, we take this issue very seriously and will take further action.
