> The odd part is that I have never seen a collision in my mirror.

My mother was once hit from behind when she stopped for a red light. The funny thing was, that, probably because she was driving our big (by european standards) Peugeot, and the other guy (yes, it was a young guy) was in his little Fiat, my mother could drive home while he had to wait for a truck to pull him away.

> As you have guessed, I live in a town where people ignore traffic laws.
