In this age of SUV recreational vehicles, I just hope they have respect for the mass of the vehicle. In my 'ute', I had the displeasure of witnessing another SUV, that was trying to catch me, roll and slide down the highway in a shower of sparks. I have since learned.

I asked an emergency room doctor, in a college town up north (Syracuse NY), when the busiest time was. He said the summer was carnage. He liked the snowy, rainy days; people drove slower.
