Quote - Dave Jeffries - Life is Dangerous

Dave Jeffries on the dangers of the TT:

"I think life's dangerous. My uncle was changing a light buld years ago and he fell and broke his neck, and he's now paralysed from the neck down; can't breathe on his own, can't eat on his own properly. he was changing a light bulb in his garden.

I know another guy who dived into a swimming pool and broke his back. Life is dangerous no matter what you do.there's a gorl I know, she comes to race meetings. I saw her recently and she was a bit upset. She said, 'My best mate got kille din a car crash last night driving home from Leeds.' It can happen"

Dave Jeffries on the TT:
"The people that keep saying that it's dangerous are all those arty-farty bastards who live in the bloody countryside and ride horses. And when you look at the number of people that get hurt riding horses - that really winds me up. The TT gets taken out of context. The press love it - 'Woooo - the TT - someone has been killed.' Unfortunately they don't glorify the fact that Lady so-and-so's daughter got hurt on a horse because horses are lovely, super. The establishment like horses."
