Hmmm... when you're driving on a public street there is certain safety
equipment you are required to have and use. You're paying more for your
vehicle because of seatbelts, airbags and all the other things that are
supposed to lessen the impact of an accident. Even if you're an expert
driver, you don't have the privilege of not paying for these features.
