hehehe... zactly.
This is a classic case of lying statistics. Crown Vics show a huge number of fatalities and fires from rear-enders. Well... duh... cops are the most likely to be on the roadside, and always in back of another car, and they are on the shoulder of freeways where other traffic is travelling at high speeds.
Ohio did something right. It is a law to change lanes or if not posible, SLOW DOWN when an officer is on the shoulder.
Not that there are not law breakers, I always move over because I do not want to be the one to hit a cop if he steps out or gets pushed out into the lane.
On the tanks they could dothe Huey things, put honeycomb material in the tanks which almost eliminated the blow ups.
And put more frame around the tanks.
