Car vs Tree

Today I was told in a lecture that you should never ever crash your car into a tree.

Because trees are horrible things to crash into.

If you have to crash into something, you're better off crashing into a group of small children, or even a brick wall.

I somehow doubt the man who gave the lecture would make a good paediatrician.

Yet another life's lesson learnt on the trauma course. It's pretty good, really.
