Whilst standing waiting for the bus yesterday morning I played my favourite game of watching the slow moving heavy traffic and seeing how many traffic offences I could spot. In one delightful 30 second patch I spotted 3 drivers not wearing seat belts, 1 telecoms engineer fiddling about in a case on the passenger seat of his van, 1 person on the phone, and 2 reading books or maps and not having their hands on the wheel. I estimate that a third of all drivers on the road don't wear belts, in may cases the driver is but the front passenger isn't, back seat passengers hardly ever wear them and I regularly see children who aren't strapped in (and are usually the one's with "Baby On Board" stickers.

Interesting: here in the U.S., all drivers keep both hands on the feel at 10 and 2 o'clocks, wear seatbelts at all times, are punctilious about yielding the right-of-way, and, when spotting infirm elderly about to cross the street, immediately park legally, exit the vehicle in an orderly and safe manner, and escort such elderly citizens across the street.

I understand that drivers are now instructed to hold the wheel at 8 and 4 o'clocks because it helps maintain control if the airbag should deploy in an accident caused by an English driver.

We Canadians are required to hold the wheel at all times while the vehicle is in motion, regardless of what time it is.

A: That's what I said. But it is true. Enough people off that flight have confirmed that yes that was pretty much the gist of the fellow's remarks. I've had e-mail from these people; we've also seen reports written about it in other sources. The Associated Press actually got ahold of one person who was on the flight. United has attempted to stonewall the thing. When I called they claimed they didn't know a darn thing about it: "No, we don't know the rumor. We've got other fish to fry."

I don't remember if that's actually a law or not, but I do know that one of the stupidest laws currently in effect is that cars in funeral processions are allowed to go through red lights and if you crash into one of them because you go through a green light, IT'S YOUR FAULT, whether you can see the little tiny funeral markers on the cars or not. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 11:24:14 -0800 (PST) From: Jer Fairall Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Canadiana > Anyone have anything to say about either album > (especially the new Rheos)?

My sister was rear-ended at a red light by a woman driving an SUV (no offense to sensible SUV drivers out there, but ... surprise, surprise), causing her $5,000 worth of damage to her two-month-old car and a terribly painful injury to her neck. The woman, who had been paying attention to her child rather than the road, got out of her vehicle and said, "Oh, I always knew someday I'd be turned around looking at him and I'd run into somebody." This is where there should be such a thing as a citizen's driver's license revocation. My mom's best friend was killed when a woman applying lipstick in her rearview mirror ran a red light. The lipstick lady was unharmed; the steering column crushed Ruth's chest. Her then-four-year-old grandson got to sit in the car with his crushed-to-death grandmother until emergency workers arrived. When I was first taught to drive, I was told that I always needed to keep in mind that I was controlling an enormous object that could kill someone in the blink of an eye. Sure as hell keeps me paying attention to what I'm doing - and you know, I haven't killed anyone yet (except a squirrel, once). However, I don't think I ever knew about the funeral procession thing. - -- Elizabeth ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 12:37:59 -0700 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Funeral driving At 02:22 PM 10/31/01 -0500, Aaron Milenski wrote: >I don't remember if that's actually a law or not, but I do know that one of >the stupidest laws currently in effect is that cars in funeral processions >are allowed to go through red lights and if you crash into one of them >because you go through a green light, IT'S YOUR FAULT, whether you can see >the little tiny funeral markers on the cars or not. Well, in fairness, they usually have motorcycle cops at stoplights along the procession for this very reason, at least in the cities I've lived in, and the sight of a line of cars moving through a red line should be a visual cue by itself. I can see the reason for this law, myself.

It ain't all just Harry Potter (aka "mini" Steve Jobs) and the adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley (thank the Lord). There is some amazing childrens' literature out there that is written so well that an adult could sit down in an evening and really enjoy some of these books. I wanted to recommend a book I came across titled_Because of Winn-Dixie_, by Kate DiCamillo. It came out last year, and is a Newberry honor book, which, if you don't know, (doubtful on this list) is a prestigious award in kiddie lit circles. The story is written in first person from the point of view of ten-year-old India Opal Buloni, whom I would love seeing brought to life on the big screen. DiCamillo is masterful in her craft where you actually believe you're reading a story narrated by a ten-year-old. The only other book that comes to mind of this caliber would be _Shiloh_ , part of a trilogy of books by famed children's author Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (whose grandson Nathan and I were friends who went to school together...six degrees of Kevin Bacon). Like Shiloh, BOWD is a "dog story," but not cliched and artificial in a Lassie and Timmy sort of way. It's enjoyable reading with a definite southern flavor and very believable. I plan on incorporating this book into my curriculum when I begin teaching. Inside flap: When ten-year-old India Opal Buloni moves to Naomi, Flordia, with her father, she doesn't know what to expect--least of all, that she'll adopt Winn-Dixie, a dog she names after the supermarket where they meet. Right away, Opal knows she can tell Winn-Dixie anything--like the fact that lately she's been thinking a lot about her mother, who left when Opal was three. And that her father, the preacher, won't talk about her mother at all. And that she's lonely. But with such an unusually friendly dog at her side, Opal soon finds herself making more than a few unusual friends. And ultimately, Opal and the preacher realize--with a little help from Winn-Dixie, of course--that while they've both tasted a bit of melancholy in their lives, they still have a whole lot to be thankful for. This is uplifting and fun reading without coming off as being fake or syrupy sweet gooey. If you have young ones in your life, they should enjoy this, as I'm sure it would come across well in a story time type setting.
