i've had a few face first falls skating in lower and mid town manhattan believe me.

as for VA driving...i like 264 everytime i pull on i feel like i have to fend for my life.

But stop complaining. try driving the BQE every day.
it has to be the WORST, MOST DENSE, AND FASTEST road on the east coast all at the same time. traffic moves at like at least 85 nearly bumper to bumper with 5 inch pot holes. and your random game of follow the leader..............
