I have been driving LBC's since the summer before my senior year in
college. I think only John Vrugtman
has been driving longer than me!! In that length of time I have had two
accidents. Once when someone hit my
Healey after running a red light, and another when a car backed out of a
stall and up over the front fender of my Healey at a garage while I was
getting gas. The rest of the time I survived with good radial tyres, a
sound front end, good brakes, and an awareness of what was going on
around me. Of course I was lucky, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the
pleasure of driving my Healey(s). Life is inherently dangerous and while
I applaud efforts to make driving our Healeys safer, I don't plan on
going through life wearing a parachute.
