Explorer suit costs Ford $31 million - 03/03/05

Explorer suit costs Ford $31 million - 03/03/05: "A jury in Texas found Ford Motor Co. liable for $31 million in the deaths of two 19-year-old women in an Explorer rollover accident."

Wow! Where do I start? They were speeding, drinking (not too much though), and not wearing seatbelts. And it was Ford's fault for not exceeding NHTSA standards, just meeting them.
How many deaths is it going to take before people realize that at the very least, you can't drive an SUV like an F1 car? Oh and buckling you seatbelt might hlp to keep you in the car too. I guess if you're too stupid to drive within the vehicles limits, we shouldn't expect you to be smart enough towear a seatbelt.
