Seriously though, a series of 'how to drive better' PSA's aimed at the American driver might do a world of good. the Australians take traffic safety VERY seriously - see, for instance, this:

I love the fact that at 1:48, the driver is going just like in old black and white movies - wiggling the wheel back and forth. It's just like he's really driving!

...in this SMALL Chrysler...

I agree. I love my Subaru's EAT. Although in 11 years, I've NEVER used 1st.

Very true - any tree with a diameter greater than about 8" will probably have some pretty deep roots, and won't move much. Brick walls, on the other hand, give way (although you may have issues with flying masonry)...

Yum. But no eggs.

Rush is a shitty band comprised of very talented musicians. seriously, Peart is great, Lifeson is great, even Geddy Lee can sing (whether or not you like his voice) and play a mean bass. But then you realize that together they're just plain awful.

Um... I had a 1981 Mini 850 (smaller engine than my current motorcycle!) and I drove it on the highways all the time in the UK. 0-30 it was as fast as anything else where I lived (pretty much), and it would (ju7st about) do 80mph. Downhill. With a tailwind. It's the only car where you could feel the difference in…

150 quid and 6 points? That's it?

Sometimes you're in the wrong. This applies both to the drivers 'out there' and also to every Jalopnik-er reading this. Maybe you didn't see that guy who was trying to merge 'correctly'. Maybe you got distracted and nearly crashed. Maybe you cut someone off. Maybe (just maybe) you thought you were a better driver than…

"It's also very nice inside, just like all Minis."

Classic shock. I was watching her and thinking "Oh, they paused the video, so we can see how close he got" and then I actually noticed that the others cars are stopping and people are getting out. She honestly can't move AT ALL. See the way her bag just drops from her shoulder. Frankly, I'm surprised she's still…

That driving an SUV is inherently safer than driving a smaller car. Sure, you might be better off in a collision with the smaller car, but your weight-related momentum, higher center of gravity and lack of decent handling at speed means that you're more likely to plow into something than the smaller car, which can…

The local airport at Negril Beach on Jamaica that you fly to if you're going to Sandals or Hedonism or one of those other all-inclusive places employs a man to shoo goats off the runway. Just sayin'.

Well given that a number of people HAVE survived (and been caught by the police in the UK), then it's possible to survive. Very unlikely, perhaps, but not "literally impossible".
