Question

Doesn't matter how safe the car is, it's the loose nut behind the wheel, right?

Answer 1

true true. man who stands on toilet is high on pot.

Answer 2

Mostly. You have to drive very defensively these days.

But safety equipment can play a big role. In my younger days I got into a chain collusion in my Volvo 142. Car was totaled. Because I was wearing lap and shoulder belts (at a time when very few cars even had lap belts), I got by without even a bruise, as did my passenger.

Answer 3

It does matter how safe the car is, your cars safety protects you from the loose nuts.

Answer 4

both male or female

Answer 5

Oh this is so very true!

As my point-blank-refusal-to-drive Mum once said to me "I'm not scared of driving, it's the nutters on the road I'm scared of".

Answer 6

If you are indeed a loose sort of person and a bit of a nut think that is very true?

Answer 7

Abso-freakin'-lutely.

Answer 8

Yes and you hit the nail on the head with this one.....................

Answer 9

and the moron California drivers.

Answer 10

In well over 95 percent of all cases you're absolutely right; in the remining 5 percent, many factors can play a role, like flash ice, a sudden strong gust (Had that yesterday - I was going to overtake a truck, but "somehow" - instinct? - hesitated; a second or so later, there was a sudden strong gust, even though otherwise it wasn't a windy day, and the truck swerved all over the road! I hate to think about what might have happened hadn't I hesitated!), a falling tree in a storm, or just simply plain old bad luck. Still: YUP, there are simply too many of those loose nuts!

Answer 11

Spot on ! It`s the one thing that hasn`t changed in the last two million years. Not much hope, really...

Answer 12

your right of course but it would be unamerican to not be able to blame someone else for  our problems

Answer 13

well yes and no! if you are crazy enough to drive something that you know should not be driven, well the driver is at fault, but so many people have a good driving and good training with a person who has no knowledge of what they are driving.

So many people I have had as a trained driver do not even know what the warning lights are on for? and what to do when they come on!! and these are so called professional drivers.

many I have had to show what the engine looks like and where it is?? some don't even know what the tire pressure is on the vehicle they have been driving for 5 years.

Many don't even know where the spare wheel is and if there is one?? so many can not even change a expired bulb and will drive with no rear lights. or one headlamp. I even have come across a coach driver with no lights on one side didn't know there was a fuse gone, and didn't know what a fuse box was yet along where it was. with 49 life's in his hands

There is more to being responsibly for what you are driving than just sitting behind the wheel. When was the last time you checked your oil, brake lights, brake fluid, steering fluid, tire pressure, windscreen washing fluid, and condition of wipers and looked at the tires to see if there is any damage or checked the wheel nuts. I do most of this before driving every time, but even I can miss some thing!!!
