Now the only problem I see with chucks scenario is: I have seen guys
driving "very relaxed and comfortably motoring down the highway"
Smoking a cigarette, or drinking a cup of coffee. In the mean time his
trailer is every where but upside down. Including once I saw a guy
driving relaxed and he only had one tire, 2 wheels, only one tire. Him
I had to stop.
Sometimes "relaxed" and "ignorant" mean the same thing.
Not to disagree with the other point of the "nervous wreck" about to
have one.

dead fools.
