Alright, enough of this.  If you actually think this stuff, try this.
Count all the bad drivers on the road with these kind of bumper stickers.
Then count all the bad drivers without them.  Then count all driver on the
road with/without them.  Now figure out the percentage of bad drivers in
group, and I'm sure you'll find that they're most likely about equal.
It's just that you happen to notice cars with bumper stickers more than
cars without.  Incidentally, you'll never (ok, hardly ever) find me
pulling out in front of you and making you slam on your brakes.  I
very much dislike having that happen to me.

BTW, not that anyone really cares, but if it was a "phase" your sister
went through, then she was most likely never a B-A-C in the first place.
And the reasoning about "The Big Guy watching out for me" is rubbish.
It should be something like "I'm supposed to be a Christian, so I ought
to drive responsibly."  God may well let you kill yourself in a car
crash if it saves other people's lives.
