Hi Dave, So you were impacted by the seat which tossed you up and backward - probably breaking your pelvis, and then by the ground when you came down. In the smart you would have just been squashed against the steering wheel and dashboard. Bad deal no matter what. I like Kevin's modulator idea. I have been stopping well into the intersection when I am first up - at the edge of the traffic flow, can't do anything when you aren't. If lane splitting were legal in Florida I would stop between the cars. May start that anyway. I am 66, my number is damn near up no matter what. Had to give up my truck because of the cost. Didn't want to stay home all the time so I got the bike. I was rear-ended in the truck waiting to turn left and hurt so badly I had to retire from acupuncture practice. Woman claimed she didn't see me, asked if I had my blinker on. I had the blinker on, but if I hadn't the truck was 7' 2" high and 8' wide. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
