Re: [trafficsafety] 'Negligent Collision' fine

I think this is an awesome idea! If I'm on my bike, and through my
"negligence" I hit a bus, I'll be looking at a pretty steep negative
fine. My only problem will be figuring out how to invest all that cash
while finding other buses to be extra-careless around!
