A professional musician that I know bought his wife a Suburban. He explained the logic of it:

* And rather than see her die in an accident of her own making; he'd surround her in a battle tank, hoping it might save her, even at the expense of probably killing whoever she collided with.

It is a contextual form of logical decision-making.
