and overweight Dems, here's a good reason to lose weight.
Obese drivers are more likely to die in a serious car wreck than drivers of normal weight, a new study says.
Researchers at the University at Buffalo in New York examined drivers' body sizes and the number of car crash deaths between 2000 and 2005 from data in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. The study calculated an increased risk factor of dying at 21% for moderately obese drivers and 56% for morbidly obese drivers.
The lead researcher says crash test dummies that are obese might help. "If they represented our overweight American society, there could be further improvements in vehicle design that could decrease mortality," lead researcher Dr. Dietrich Jehle says in a statement.
Check out this news release that explains the study published online in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.

That's because they are eating in the car and not watching where they are driving. Fast food drive thrus should be banned.

Look for Michelle Obama to urge for the denial of driver's licenses to everyone with a BMI >25, and insurance companies to raise the rates (or deny) claims for those same fatties. Those people are disgusting, and I think they deserve any inconvenience we can bestow upon them. I'm just glad that people who are severely underweight don't have any increased risk of death in severe motor vehicle accidents - I'm sure that has been scrutinized too.

Profound study results indeed, funden by the federal government and your tax dollars no doubt.. I suggest the federal govenment do a follow up study on the mortality rate of anorexic car crash victims.. and then gender, race, religious affiliation and maybe even political bent.. Heck, shovel ready research as I see it.. What a stimulus particuliary if the grants are awarded to CACC.. Senator Shelby is almost certain to lend his bipartisian support..
