When Ben was at work he just was not happy with himself. All Ben did was travel around the country and assess the damages of car wrecks. He would go to the really bad wrecks to see what had happened and to see if the car and its components caused the problem, or if it was caused by operator error. The big part of the job was to calculate all the problems with a car. They would take the amount of accidents and amount of people that got hurt in the accident, and compare it to the amount of thing that went wrong with the car or the car parts. It reached a certain number then they would decide to have a recall. Now, a recall for a car company can cost millions and millions of dollars. So they didn’t like that. Ben traveled all around the country, and met lots of people. Occasionally, someone would ask him what he did. So Ben would tell them, and the look on their faces was priceless. The people were terrified knowing that the car that they are driving might have a major problem with it, but the company did not put a recall on it because not enough people have died for the defect. Then lots of them would ask what the name of the car company was. They really felt that they needed to know if the car they were driving might be one of the broken ones. All Ben would reply with is “a major one.”
