33 years of driving has taught me that 90% of automobile drivers fall into
one or more of these categories:

1) Dead. Actually, really dead. Nobody's bothered to remove them from the
car.

2) Drunk, regardless of the time of day.

3) Completely distracted by one thing or another

4) Blind, according to any legal or medical definition

5) Stupid - too stupid to operate a toaster, much less a car.


There's no reason to believe that boaters are any different, and the horror
stories in this newsgroup are proof of the theory.
