Professional Drivers

One thing I can't stand in car commercials is the little disclaimer that this is a "professional driver on a closed course." Half the time they aren't even driving recklessly or anything. You known they've gotten out of hand when they use that disclaimer for a commercial showing a car driving about 70mph across a dry lake bed. C'mon, professional driver? A blind man could do that. The incessant fear of litigation in this country has gotten so out of hand.

The other thing I can't stand is the black and yellow warning labels permanently attached to the underside of every visor of every new car that basically tells you that an airbag could kill an infant. Let's say you don't have any children and you just spent $70,000 on a new Jaguar. Shouldn't you be able to remove a warning label that does not pertain to you at all?
