WHY
THIS PAGE?
I
realized that many important persons, who had given so much to
the human kind, and that could give even more, have been storn
away by road accidents, caused by others, by themselves or by
the fate. I keep thinking that the massacre of human beings that
occurs every day is absurd, and we could avoid it being only a
little more prudent, less aggressive, less idiot in the end, when
driving a vehicle, particularly if it's a fast one.
