This assessment/decision­ is based upon seriously faulty logic. Do you
remember the general statement that "most crashes occur within 25
miles of your home"? It doesn't matter what you *intend*, the facts
clearly are exactly opposite of your assumptions.

I was at Bob Bridge Toyota in Bellevue, WA (minor problem with my wife's
Highlander): there were 6 Priuses sitting there. If you really want one
you can get them right now.

 If you really care about safety, tell your legislators you want
mandatory prison sentences for DUIs and speeders doing over 80 mph. And
permanent loss of DL.

But severe collisions are more likely to happen at night, especially
weekend nights, because more people are driving drunk, and of course the
visibility is lower. That's not a wild guess on my part, it's a fact. So
if you want to reduce the risk of being hit by a sloshed driver, don't
drive in the dead of night on a weekend.

I don't think that approach is realistic. You can rail and rant all you
want, but in the end, you have to look after your own butt first. And I've
seen lots of stupid driver behavior that doesn't fit into the above (people
not signaling would be the biggest complaint).

Don't worry too much, Laura Bush murdered etc. is a resident troll.

 I noted you didn't say anything about people exceeding the posted speed
limit, only 80mph. Is this because you realize you would have had
prison time and permanent revocation of your DL for doing 41 in the
21mph school zone, moron?
