It hurts too many when ones actions are not thought out.
Use your heads when driving anything. The fractions of seconds in action over words can be the very time that saves your life.
No tweety flipped here.

You are absolutely correct in your statement of feelings associated with accidents incurring injuries. We drove home in a constant state of all the "what if's"...
