Afraid the attempt to make a P topic out of the connection between
a) what older folks sometimes say about young drivers--that they
behave behind the wheel as if EXEMPT FROM DEATH--with
b) actuarial findings that it is only the UNMARRIED MALES among
the young who have the higher accident rates was a bit limp, as Hal (or 
was it Don Gately) in IJ would say.

Apologies to all.
