And, it is old WIVE'S tale....

Actually, I think that he might have been agreeing with the statement.

I would also like to know how many professional/commercial drivers have "walked" away from driving because some JAB ran out in front of them and they didn't have the time/room to stop in time to avoid hitting them.

Okay, I stand corrected, he wasn't agreeing with the other poster.
