Trevor,
I'm sorry I can't agree that road conditions cause accidents. It's peoples inability to assess the road conditions and drive accordingly that cause accidents. Perhaps less emphasis on upgrading "dangerous sections of road" and more on upgrading "dangerous and incompetent drivers" would be cheaper and have more beneficial results. There is a worrying tendency in society now, particularly here in NZ, for everyone to look to the government to legislate for their safety and well being. There is a diminishing sense of personal responsibility and someone or something else always has to be blamed for their own stupidity. With that attitude noone learns and we are bringing up a generation of mollycoddled, incompetent, and thoughtless morons!
Now give me five minutes to get down off my soapbox and don my Nomex!
Good point about the seat material though.
All the best,
