That was my point exactly, and this really kind of bugs me. They have all these safety features on cars now, and in my opinion they have gone way beyond the point of dimminishing returns....that is to say they have actually made things more dangerous. The average person gets into a new car, and it has all these features. It handles and stops so well, that they get careless when driving and start to tailgate people on the freeway while talking on the phone and eating at the same time. Me....I drive a 1960 Chevrolet during the summer months. It has no safety belts, and simple drum brakes all around.....Yet, I feel safer BECAUSE I AM PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT I AM DOING. That is all I was trying to say. Drivers and passenger side airbags....disc brakes...abs....and it goes on and on.....YOU PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR ALL THESE FEATURES, YET YOU WOULDN'T NEED THEM IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEHIND THE WHEEL. Sorry for the rant.
