Date Posted: 19:00:35 04/18/07 Wed In reply to: Oropan 's message, "Your theory doesn't hold water" on 05:53:13 04/18/07 Wed Suv's only have side door beams because of government reglation, and the side air bags will also be standard soon. It is nice to know that detriot only adds safety features to expensive cars, they are believers in eugenics like henry ford was, they would love to get rid of the lower classes in any way they can. That's why americans continue to buy more japaneese cars, they are better and they put more safety features in their small cars, the small cars made by toyota and honda are the safest small cars while gm, ford and crysler make the most dangerous small cars. "I did get a good laugh from this statement of yours about Corzimes SUV going 90+ Mph: "it was justified as a security measure to avoit being boxed in". Try telling that to the judge!!!!" Actually, a judge will have no problem with that, the governer was being driven by a professional driver trained as part of a security detail, they drive at those speeds to avoid being boxed in, that is standard procedure and is followed by all governors, although in light of this accident it should be reviewed. "We will see if he gets a ticket. They need to take some pictures of him and make him a poster boy for why you should be wearing your seatbelt." Not wearing a seatbelt was a very foolish decision, especially given that they do travel at such a high speed. It shows poor leadership, i would hope that after he recovers he should get a ticket and pay it in order to encourage more seat belt use. The seat belt law has saved tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars, it is another example of how government regulations have greately improved our lives. If the government never required general motors to install seatbelts, we would not have them in cars, remember when general motors said that putting seat belts in cars will make them unaffordable? >While I agree that an SUV will roll over easier than a >low to the ground small car, the rest of your >statement is bogus.
