Commander Rasseru Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Little OTAMR failThat's why bigger and wider are better :>That's not a Dodge Sprinter.... It's one of those Ford vans.You can find one crash ambulance from any model or nation. Safer does not means crash proof or not one will crash. It means less than before,I dare some one try to find 10 crash ambulances of a model. If you do? Then that model could have problems in being safe.

Their rate of model that been in a crash.3rd point is always the drivers. Did their system of driving cause the crash. Do they follow driving training.Lastly safer could mean if the vehicle not totaled or people in the crash are alive.Half of the ambulances look like they can be easy repair.

Commander Rasseru Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Bad driving in America is linked to our teen and young adults. They may pass the driving test and that the test could lean to passing with a low score in some states. These drivers are not bright at all with the high tech gear they carry and use while driving. Being a young age... they do the car goofing around games and drinking while driving. Americans focus must be so bad that we have 40,000 around deaths a year.We may not rank first. But, out of the Modern Nations with sames laws and driving codes... US might rank the worst out of all of them. No wonder many nations won't allow Americans to use their driving license. But if our driving age was raised to a 18 ~ 20 and buff up our driving schools. We would cut most of our totals of bad driving down.Hell, I get almost roll over by cars a lot when crossing the road. No wonder people wear a traffic vest while on a bicycle in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, out of the Modern Nations with sames laws and driving codes... US might rank the worst out of all of them. No wonder many nations won't allow Americans to use their driving license.

No wonder people wear a traffic vest while on a bicycle in the US.I dont think driving school matters, well adding more time in school that is. Its just a matter of people to busy being distracted by cell phones, for the most part, and I dont see that changing because of more driving school time. Unless they crack down VERY hard on teens with cell phones, and adults to, then its not going to matter whats done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
