    Don't patronise me. You've done it twice now. I find it extremely irritating. The point being made is that many of these things can be mitigated by better driver training or driver…

    The point being made is that there are ways of mitigating the risk. That for some reason you are other people don't believe can be done at all. This is patently false. Also just be…
