Call me a Scrooge, but I have never been in an accident because of my own inattention, and my attention to the task at hand when driving has prevented a few accidents from other drivers not so attentative. It makes you wonder how many accidents could have been avoided if one or both of the drivers involved were actually paying attention to thier driving.

I have never had a accident myself, even when I had the dvd, kids and dog with me and all doing different things. I have however have a lil sports car drive under my rear wheel a few months back. Sucked for him!
But yes everyday driving is a distraction and no you are not a scrooge. I respect your point and I agree.
