If you drive a car on private property, you don\'t have to wear a seat

Cars could be programmed to not go over 35 MPH if the driver isn\'t
using his seat belt. Car makers should do that to avoid liability for
injury and death.
The equivalent was tried in the 1970s, with seat belts. There were
lots of malfunctions and stranded motorists.
We all learned how to defeat the interlock. Eventually, the

The William Creek Cat Tree is about the only tourist attraction William
