Bumpers need extra protection in some cases nowadays, due to things like expensive back up sensors and fewer insured motorists along the Mexico border

Here in San Diego, being in a collision caused by an insured car owner is known as winning the lotto. That's how rare it is to have the other person be insured, and not a hit and run that will never be found by the cops

I learned about it, and got the above photo from Autowriters.com monthly newsletter this photo taken in front of the Castle of Carovigno (Castelo Dentice di Frasso) in the province of Brindisi, in the region of Puglia, Italy
Jeff Mohr is happy to pass along this photo from over seas for his Superbumper: "We have lots of employees getting rear ended on a regular basis. I am putting them on all our office vehicles. The 4” model on my personal vehicle has been “bumped” numerous times with no damage (to my vehicle at least)," Thad Osterhout, American Embassy, Dakar, Senegal, Africa. 

Stupid people driving recklessly fast cause traffic collisions

Be careful, be smart, don't back out of a parking spot. Back into it, and drive out of it to be able to see traffic and prevent collisions like this one

there is an email going around with photos of wrecked 1920's and 30's cars, here are the more impressive photos

 above is a late 1910's Dodge I think... there was a name for the style... but I can't remember it

 worlds strongest front tire and steering parts!

 above, a kid went joyriding and trashed the car in an accident

 above and below are Mack trucks, in the first version of the company symbol

If the photos make you glad you have power steering, power brakes, airbags, and saftey glass windshield... than you echo my sentiment

All the photos were taken by a Boston news photographer, and are now in the Boston Library
