I live in bubba territory (North Carolina), and we just had two
ejection-from-truck accidents, and in both cases, the (belted) passengers
lived.

I saw a little kid, about a year old, *walking around* in a king cab. I
would have reported them, if I wasn't so busy watching that child and
fuming.

I don't get why *they* don't get it.
