Did you watch the crash video? The 'driver' gets his legs crushed, and
the passenger submarines under the late-firing airbag.
This failure has been big news over here.
But clearly, having a bumper sticker will provide a modicum of
strengthening; and this vehicle needs all it can get.
Or did I miss a rule that says these stickers can only go on the rear?

Maybe you need to be a player? I know someone, at least, on here who
will 'get' this last remark :-)
