Traffic Freak: Gas Guzzler Saves Lives

No, this web site does not recommend driving a bigger, clunkier vehicle than you need on the off chance that you might, like Darrell Krushelnicki, have a chance to maneuver it in between a speeding car and a child:

However, since we've all been saying for years that motor vehicles are deadlier weapons than guns, we might as well acknowledge the corollary. Motor vehicles can potentially be used to prevent other motor vehicles from becoming murder weapons...although the potential hazards are even more serious than the hazards from protective use of firearms.

Anyway, we think this is a cool story, and we salute Mr. Krushelnick's quick thinking.
