Excuse me?  *Which* car had the brake failure and caused the accident
in the first place?  There's a lot more to safety than damage on impact.
There is, for example, *avoiding* impact, but that's all been discussed
before.  Sheesh, I hope you don't drive on roads near *me*!

I don't think my company *has* an opinion, so the ones in this article
are obviously my own.
