Some context:
Around 4 o'clock one morning several years ago 2 guys (stoned) in a Mercedes fell into the harbour crushing the dinghy moored next to my boat. They landed on the roof on the sand, both were wearing seat belts which they couldn't release and the tide was coming in. They were saved because a woman was out walking her dog and heard the noise. When the fire brigade rescue team arrived their heads were in the water but they could still breathe
I was reminded of this last year driving to Spezi - lots of km next to canals on that route. Same again driving to the meeting in Vendee, lots of very nasty ditches on that route. So I was more careful and drove further from the edge of the road than usual. If I ever happen to find myself upside down in a ditch that would be very bad luck (or karma) because I take preventive measures to stop it from happening. Getting out of an Agilo would not be much fun because the door is on the side, the new one would be easier than a Milan.
