    It’s because if you manage to injure yourself in a car, with crumple zones and seat belts and airbags, the likelihood is that you have been involved in a high speed, high energy, high deceleration incident and wouldn’t be spending that much time in A&E; you would be heading for theatre or ITU quite quickly.

    Its difficult to call really. More publicty would generally mean a good thing but it can be turned on its head and be put along the lines of they shouldn’t use the roads.

    I see enough death and destruction at work so i generally dont watch those sort of programmes.
