And so it really depends on what age group we're talking about and even like cultural things really play into this too. So I think, I think it really depends on where you are in the world, who you are and what you want to keep safe.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you, Barry. The cars themselves, it's really impressive how much the lengths to which they are going for safety now.

But I think since like 2020, 2021, obviously people were not on the road as much in 2020, but following the pandemic, it actually, the roads have gotten more dangerous in terms of people speeding, not following proper normal safety protocols, like using your blinker.
