	You have to remember that some folks out there *enjoy* driving.
I see no reason to endanger them just to *lower* the amount of time they
drive (and enjoy themselves). Therefore when we implement Brad's scheme
we'll have to root out those people and build them special ultra-low-risk
roads with strict speed limits and sweeping padded curves.
	While the rest of us (who think of driving as a chore) buzz along
like bats outta Hull on the fury of the open road the driving enthusiasts
can sit back, relax, and have some _quality_ time in their cars.
