If so are you familiar with the character "Doberman" ?

If so do you remember the episode that "Dobermans Sister" made an appearance ?

How I laughed.

It's not the cars that are an issue, it's the owners who climb into them believing they're a safer and better driver, and often go faster in poor conditions putting themselves and other road users at risk. Sadly when they cause accidents, it's the other road users that tend to suffer more.
