Don't be so aggresively stupid yourself - Canada and other liberal paradises
may exercise mind control over their citizens instead of allowing freedom of
thought, but we don't do that to the same extent - yet - in the USA.....

Unadulterated, whacko BS.....
| Why did our original inquisitor buy a Volvo?? Brain Fart?
Maybe he thought he was buying a quality car - does everyone who thinks
differently from you function with "brain farts"rather than a logical
process? What's your excuse for being a low grade moron.....?

This "safety feature" borders on the terminally stupid - has zero effect and
qualifies as an annoyance that only a liberal twit could "love".....
| The Defensive Driving Course tries to explain to drivers how they can
avoid
| accidents even if everyone around you is behaving badly.
DRLs don't have the slightest influence on "avoiding accidents". Avoiding
accidents requires an alert driver with a brain, not a liberal law.....!
| You have taught me to pay particular attention to Volvos.
One would hope that you would pay attention to everyone and everything -
especially liberal idiots who rely on lights rather than their brains....
| Let's stop this soon.
Good idea - quit while you're behind.....
