That said,you can buy a Volvo(usually known for safety),live in a gated neighborhood,use the home alarm system religiously,eat only organic vegatarian,you can see the Dr.daily or even become one.There are still a thousand ways to die.So my question is,Why would you want to have a life you didn't live? Or have a child you kept from living a life with a little "FUN" in it?
I agree with you, we can do all the right things in life, then die in a plane crash, cancer, or be struck by lightning. When your'e time comes, thats it. That being said, I think if you're truck has good tires,is mechanically sound,and you drive right, I think you will be fine. I would consider stepping up to 4wheel power disc brakes, and taking the less traveled roads. And if your'e hit head on by a semi, or big truck, you will also die if you're in a 2009 malibu! .02
