Neither would I, but can you honestly say that you would have been
better off with a ruptured spleen, a torn aorta or your pelvis crushed
such that the femoral arteries are occluded that you lose your legs.

We had an accident here in Woodstock when I was still on the Rescue
Squad - relatively high speed (45), head on a 90 degree curve - two
occupants of one car were thrown clear - injured seriously, but alive.
The driver of the other car, with her seatbelt on, deader than a
doornail.

The cause? Alcohol. I propose that life in prison for the drunk
driver would be acceptable for murdering the other occupant.


I'm not much of a gambler. I'd only want to bet when the odds were
overwhelming in my favour. I'll take the sure bet and buckle up.
