Ahh, the peanut brigade chimes in.  :-\

I said it was the best approach ... I never said it was what people did 
nor what they would be good at doing. I can't help it if most people 
are simply too lazy, too forgetful, or too stupid to do what's best. 
Unlike most Governments, I do not run a nanny state trying to force 
people into doing what's best.

Do NOT keep drives in your car if you live somewhere that gets even 
semi-hot. The temperature inside the car is always far more than 
outside, and high summer temperatures could cause a drive to fail, 
making it useless as a backup.

I used to store some boxed toys in my car boot / trunk simply because I 
had nowhere else to put them at the time. They weren't in direct 
sunlight, but the plastic in the 'windows' of the boxes all buckled due 
to the heat build-up.
