    The tidbit about people getting injured in other places when already injured is true, or at least it appears to be an automatic human response to protect a part that is weak or injured in situations where they could be injured again.

    Hi Norm - great vid! I live in Cyprus and over here rental cars have red number plates so that we know that they are likely being driven by tourists - people driving unfamiliar vehicles on unfamiliar roads tend to do crazy things like suddenly slamming on the brakes, forgetting which side of the road they should be on, going the wrong way around one way systems etc. Easy to identify, we know to take extra care when driving near them!
