No kidding. One of my mother's coworkers got killed on Monday on a smoke break, when a car jumped a curb while parking (further evidence that smoking is hazardous to your health). Today, a there's a story in the paper of a crazy driver, whose license was already suspended, causing 2 car crashes, and jumping a curb in front of a school, avoiding killing a young girl only thanks the the split second reaction of her father to pull her out of danger.

Cars can be dangerous anywhere, at least in the road you're sitting in the middle of a driver's attention zone.
