First off I am not offended at all by people that use it no matter how bad my first posts read. If people are more comfortable then they can go right ahead. My whole point was simply that you don't "need" to not that you shouldn't.

Secondly there is no time when you will have somebody closer behind you than military convoy driving. Not to mention the vehicles are usually crammed with people or things that go bang.
