Legs crushed or severed by a five mile per hour accident? This expert in all things Euro must be mildly retarded.
They're crazy about the pedestrian safety crap in Euro-land, but I don't get it. Waaaaay fewer people die as result of getting hit by a car than die by getting hit while in a car, right? Or do crazy Italians mow people down by the tens of thousands over there?
