- I agree. My girl friend does not understand why I scold her for
- pulling right up on the bumper of the car in front at a light, in east
- Cleveland, with the window's open and the stereo cranking. She come's from a
- small town, and no matter how much you try to educate her about the cities,
- she just can't even comprehend that there is a danger.
-
- Also, if you give yourself room, you may save yourself from a
- "squeeze play" accident. My mother was rear-ended at the lights, and she was
- within a foot of the car in front of her, a new Cadallac. She was "squeezed"
- between the two cars. The person that hit here was charged with the accident,
- but we had both rear and frontal damage.

- Semi-good news, the poster has been up and running the last
- day or so fine, but my mail deamon is still angry...
