Of course he never gets hit 'cause you are warned by the screetching tires of the car in front of you. 'Driving in NY on the FDR drive - "A thrill a minute!" ' (But what ever happened to those guys who would get a flat at night and make just around the nearest curve and change their tire, with the lights off (to conserve the battery)?) -GDS-
