You know, I've had a solution to safe driving in my head for many years now. It will also drastically reduce DUIs and DWIs. Hell, everyone will drive safely. My solution:

1. Remove all driver's side seatbelts and airbags.

2. Weld an 8 inch steel spike to the center of the steering wheel.

Input?

I have a feeling the world would be a safer place if YOU did that.

It turns out that in a 1996 study, vehicles equipped with ABS were overall no less likely to be involved in fatal accidents than vehicles without. The study actually stated that although cars with ABS were less likely to be involved in accidents fatal to the occupants of other cars, they are more likely to be involved in accidents fatal to the occupants of the ABS car, especially single-vehicle accidents.
