Isn't the Lorenzo Bandini award something along those lines? BTW I once tried paying a "wellness bonus" rather than "sick pay" to my staff - It failed miserably.

Re: How safe are your roads?
It does show that a more developed society will be more likely to have less fatalities on the roads.

This is an option yes? It's not as if same sex marriage is going to be compulsory.

The UFO thread got me thinking about proposed manned missions to Mars. There are at least two proposals out there one of which features a one-way trip. Basically if you are selected the idea is to fly you to Mars where you colonise the planet. There is no planned return trip. Do you sign up?

Fines, be they cash, driver points or constructor points do not remove the danger and they fuel the argument over "fairness" (see pretty much everything above).
