<yawn>. In my 20+ years of driving, I see an accident on the roads
every day. If people are afraid of 3 accidents in 13 years, they should
cacoon themselves in a hermetically sealed box.
Life is for the living. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

> A Miata traversing a 45 mph set of offsets overcooked it, did a tank
> slapper and nudged into a concrete light pole at about 5 mph.
>
> A BMW 320is with R1s got loose in a 7 cone slalom (speed about 35 mph),
> didn't give up the run, tried to get back to the cone and flipped (driver
> received a minor scratch).
