I commute by bicycle.  I have had to leave the road five times to
avoid a collision in the last six years.  In EVERY such incident the
offending car was a large Buick, which I would estimate is about 10%
of the nation's rolling stock.  P=0.00001, perhaps 0.001 that all such
incidents be of the same make of auto.

No, it's not the same guy every time. This record covers three routes
and two states!


Don't go telling me that small car drivers have bad manners and that
drivers of boats tend not to be inconsiderate!!
