I agree.

Here's mine:
My car was broadsided by a drunk driver who ran a red light. It was a
busy intersection, just after sunset. Between the impact and the
brakes, my car did a 180 and ended up facing opposing traffic.

The car was totaled.

But I had only a small scratch on my lip from flying glass.

My passenger was unharmed.



Here's another safety tip:
A car is not a safe place to ride out a tornado.

I've heard from several people who once believed that a car would
protect them from all the flying debris that tornado force winds will
create.

Here's what really happens.
