Looking at it from a different angle, I close my eyes and dream about a world where everyone has roll cages, six-point harnesses, fire extinguishers, helmets, HANS'es, proper suits, and are rich enough to easily buy a new car, so that we could casually walk away from crashes with a smile. Make driving great again!
- etib 10y agoA world where we can protect us from ourselves? Aiming only to remove risk feels like boilerplate code to me. For example: I like my motorbike without the cage, but I think you forgot about motorbikes in your vision :'(
- hga 10y agoAbout the only think I regret from moving on from my first car, a 1967 Kaiser CJ-5 Jeep, was that by damn, its lapbelt locked me into place in a very comfortable seat. I really hate these modern slip slide all around only lock in a crash belts, and would love to drive wearing a 6 point harness ... but without the minor detail of getting a HANS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HANS_device https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HANS_device) I'd be better off wearing no belt at all....
- tropo 10y agoFor me it's "only lock when urgently looking over shoulder and/or steering quickly". In other words, when I'm trying to avoid a crash, I'm kept from looking around and controlling the vehicle. Grrr. I've taken to driving with my left shoulder far forward to defeat the mechanism.
