<VV> Re: INline gas turnoff

[J R Read_HML]

I see your point and I've been rear ended at least three times that I can 
remember over the years.  Always by someone not looking in the direction 
their car was pointed.

Could you get sued for it?  I suppose.  Would they win?  Probably not likely 
since THEY ran into YOU (at least - into your car).  It is not even likely 
that your turn off switch would be discovered at the scene - if there ever 
were a scene to begin with.  So, the car stalled in traffic.  Happens EVERY 
day!
