Transportation Safety Survey

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with U.S. automakers GM and Ford for the past 5 years, whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUVs in an effort to determine in fatal accidents the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 48 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were: "Oh, Shxx!!"

Only West Virginia and Arkansas were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try something."

I doubt they were the ONLY states. Around here it's " Hey yall, watch this!!!" /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

In Canada the last words would be, "It's got four wheel drive. I can follow that Moose!!! Watch this"
