Well, yes, I knew /that/. I am just constantly amazed that people
will sue - and win - based on behaviour which is, to the dispassionate
observer, indicative of near-lethal levels of stupidity.

Stupid people aren't embarassed by their stupid behavior. The rest of
us wouldn't want our stupid deeds publicized to the world by a
lawsuit. The money is not worth being known as the person who is too
dumb to not know you can't leave a moving vehicle safely.

And, yes of course I knew you knew /that/, hehe.
