When I was reading this I was thinking it was geared for cars only (I don't know why, but that was the frame of mind). So when I read:

 

"The worst-case scenarios invariably involve speeding without wearing a seat belt or a motorcycle helmet."

 

I had the thought of 'who the heck wears a motorcycle helmet in the car'? (other than racecar drivers)... It has been one of those weeks...

 

Anyhoot, good post. I had a close call once a few years ago while doing #2 (driving while drowsy). That scared me into never doing that again. I didn't do it intentionally, I had just been driving for a long time (after working a midnight shift and the whole day before) and just didn't realize how tired I was...

I don't recall ever doing #4, #6 or #9 (at least since they put seat belts in the cars). Done all the others though, sometimes more than one at a time.
