IT’S THE DRIVER . . .

It isn’t the car that belongs to whine when forced to stop for an old stop sign — It’s the driver.

It isn’t the car that will take a drink then quickly lose its power of think — It’s the driver.

It isn’t the car that fails to heed the dangers of reckless, discourteous speed — It’s the driver.

It isn’t the car that steps on the gas and causes an accident trying to pass — It’s the driver.

A car may be bent and twisted awry, but it isn’t the car that will have to die — It’s the driver.”

Why We Chose It

We still hear this argument in all sorts of forms. And whenever it's being made, we can't help but think -- it's obviously both. It's the car and the driver. It's person and the gun. To blame one or absolve another is an over-simplification that can only result in further argument. The the progress that leads to safety is somewhere in the muddy, compromised middle.
