catch me if I'm wrong here, but driving the hearse recklessly would probably be more likely to injure pedestrians on the way to the funeral - not the attendees, who are often behind the hearse (?) -- Brettpeirce (talk) 11:05, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

That really depends on how recklessly you're driving.--Bmmarti3 (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

For the violin, he must have bowed real fast and slippage occurred. --108.162.216.127 17:06, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
