Automobiles are the 4th most common cause of death. Given that the first three are heart disease, cancer, and stroke its the most preventable of deaths. Automobile deaths happen to ages across the spectrum moreso than the top three.
IMHO, that is why we need to re-vamp our automobile system. Automated cars would save lives, let you watch tv or surf the web when traveling, and get you to your destinations faster. Sadly, its going to be a long time (or never) until that happens.

Somehow I've managed to give a girl a look and not crash my car when driving. I guess I have my priorities in order, the car costs too much...

I find it interesting that right after automobile death is suicide deaths.
1 in 84 chance of dying in a car, and 1 in 119 of killing yourself on purpose. That is kind of scary.

Are you talking about the Randy in the hot tub thing? Because if so, I too missed that one.
Also, Ive yet to have an accident, Im a relatively safe driver, never even had a speeding or minor traffic violation. But dumb gak on the side of the road just gets me like a sparkly ball.

merging, forget about it
something happened and there are cars on the side of the road, traffic actually stops. Once you pass whatever happened there is no traffic, at all.
I swear the drivers here may be worse than in Seattle
I drive for a living, don't kid yourself: it happens everywhere. It'll happen in the middle of the desert: damn rubber-neckers.
And Mel, with not having this "problem"...do you wear yoga pants? That's a surefire way for every girl to stop traffic. Actually, some women can bring the dead back to life wearing yoga pants.
I have been all over the US
honestly, come here and drive, it is nothing like you are used to. California lane change, not even possible. People here drive UNDER the limit. sure rubber kneckers are everywhere, but here they don't even bother checking speed on the highway, as they know no one can speed with all these slow fethers on the roads
I've been to Portland four times in the past year. It's busy. But I'm used to NYC traffic in a 30 foot vehicle. Portland's got nothing. 
well duh
driving in NYC is for cabbies
