I've often noticed cuddly toys on the dashboards of lorries, or hanging from their rear-view mirror. Could it be that lorry-drivers are now collecting these sick 'trophies' from all the women and children they knock down? I know I've seen all the evidence I need...
More seriously - Asimov's quite right. I drove a motorbike (safely) for ten years, and one of the most valuable things I took away from it was the golden rule of always assuming that the car/lorry/bus in front of you is driven by a homicidal maniac, and anticipating appropriately. If I saw my own dear mother coming down the road towards me, I'd keep out of her way!
