Good. There is nothing accidental about the horrible way people drive and the utter disregard for other's lives that they display behind the wheel. Cars are a horrible way of getting around but people's bad driving makes things so much worse than they need to be.

My dad and I have jokingly been calling them "intentionals" for a while now.
