they were certainly understandable by pepeople; everybody drove, everybody knew friends or relatives who were killed or injured. and everybody knew that american ingenuity was pretty good, that they didn't have to build psychosexual dreamboats that could kill you in a 10- or 15-mile-an-hour colollision because your head would hit sharp edges on the dash panel with lethal impact. and i remember i was hitchhiking once and a truck driver picked me up right outside delaware, and he said, "where are you going?" and i i said, "i'm going to washington to go see some members of congress." and he said, "what for?" i said, "because i want to federally regulate the auto companies so they have to meet safety standards." i thought he was going to let me out on the road right then and there.
