My sympathies to you. I totally agree with the above, although I don't know
what relevance it has to the discussion.

I think you'll find any driver (and there are many) that has cleaned up a
suicide (or two, or three, or more) will have a different opinion. I cannot
even imagine what it would be like to have a person that jumps from a
bridge, come through the windscreen, and then splatter their body parts all
over me and the cab (and yes, this does happen). Moron is not the correct
word, that's why I referred to them as selfish cockheads.
