Only slightly spoilt by the Google ads appearing in the middle. Sadly I'm guessing this is just going to get worse as time goes by. Then you'll be able to buy You Tube Premium where you can pay not to have the adverts! I digress.

Is there some precautions I can take, or some medicaments I can eat to make sure my child is pure? Thank you for your help, don't know what i'll do without you"

but don't agree entirely.
I think it's quite hard to argue a case against it without sounding slightly vitriolic in the process.
He does always justify his argument with reason and evidence though, and readily accepts that what he understands through science is open to change.
The sad truth is, is that you need 'fundies' at either end of the scale to pull the middle ground one way or the other.

in answer to your question.
you could do it with windows movie make to be honest.
All you need is the source files, they are hardest to get. windows movie maker will cut, paste, speed up, slow down and reverse.
it's not the quickest but it's easy to use and produces what you want.
I use Adobe Premiere CS3 and it's a fucking nightmare to learn. I've also tried Final Cut pro. it has a learning curve that makes rocket science look like maths4mentals.

You're absolutely right - even the last line sums it up perfectly without a hint of irony - "people will enjoy not having to think about it as much".
When you're in control of a ton of metal travelling at 60 mph, you should be thinking about everything that's going on around you all of the time. Relinquishing all responsibility to a computer is only ever going to make people worse drivers - they'll put so much faith into the technology that they'll forget to think about anything for themselves.
Treat people like morons and they'll behave like morons.
If this becomes compulsory, and there are LESS accidents because of it and not more - I'll shit in my hat and eat it.

Perhaps I was told bollocks by an ex RCT instructor who taught me to drive, but the statutory speed limit may be exceeded for a short period on safety grounds IE overtaking and a few others such as making way for an emergency vehicle behind.
how can you accomodate that in one of these?
approximately:
"having assessed the road conditions and a sensible opportunity to overtake, you should select the gear with maximum acceleration for current speed, and complete the manoeuvre as quickly as possible, then resume driving at the indicated speed limit or whatever speed below this the driving conditions and your judgement of them dictates sensible" God he was a stiff upper lip type.
EDIT: the old boy was no nonsense "what can you see? how far can you see? are you confident you can bring your vehicle to a total stop at any unexpected event in the range you can see at the speed you are doing? slow down until you can dear boy."
I was taught to drive a car like it was an HGV in the old pre war style of momentum driving. So your fuel economy was brilliant, brakes are for coming to a halt and a momentary correction.
none of the "gears are for going, brakes are for slowing" shite that that HGV instructors now spout just so they get the test and leave a bunch of ungreen fuel wasters.
I was overtaking 60mph lorries and caravans in the outside lane on the M6 ex brum a few years ago and blue lights on a chase suddenly nearing up my bum, nowhere to tuck in, and I just blatted it to licence lost ( flat out in my old tricked up metro: 105? 110? ) until I could find a safe gap to pull in.
I must have been camera`d at least twice but a blue flashy behind probably counted as an exemption and I didnt get any paper nasties
I got a salute as I tucked in. (nice little gesture that I`d done my best)
If I had had one of those stupid things how useful would it have been?
dumb, dumb, dumb.
Yesterday got into a convo with an elderly couple at pub lunch, the lady has a Toyota Prius, she used to live in Africa and can fix landrovers and was defeated.
It wouldnt start after it stalled at a junction .
she felt mortified at calling the RAC.
They spotted it, the American market mod is now here, if the handbrake is off, it won`t start unless you depress the clutch to the floor even in neutral.
Apologies for length
