We coddle drivers too much in this country. If you run into something, POOF! An airbag instantly pops out of the steering wheel to protect your pretty little face.

There's no incentive to drive carefully. It doesn't matter if you crash, because your car will save you.

But we really need to teach people how to drive more defensively. So how about replacing the airbag with a spike? If you run into something, no airbag. Instead, a huge, sharp spike pops out of the steering wheel.

We would instantly become a country of courteous drivers.

Well, perhaps not quite instantly.

It might take a couple of weeks for all the idiots to impale themselves.
