Peter Ludwig, a caver from Austria who
is
appalled by American driving
habits, offers the following
advice:

The probability of being involved in a traffic accident is
directly
proportional to time spent on the road. Driving fast
decreases one’s
exposure.

One third of traffic accidents are caused
by drunk drivers; two thirds
are caused by non-drunk
drivers.

Therefore, the safest way to drive is drunk and VERY fast.
