As someone who frequently drives with my arm out the window, that would certainly be concerning. I can see some considerable safety benefits to containing unrestrained people in the vehicle (rollovers tend to result in ejections, which have a high mortality rate), but at least from a management perspective, I'd much rather let a negligent person be ejected 50 times than keep 49 of them in the vehicle and have 1 sue us because we cut their arm off.
- mark-r 10y agoAs long as their sensors correctly identify a rollover vs. another kind of accident, I think it's an acceptable risk. If you're in a rollover situation you're likely to have both hands on the wheel already. If your arm is out the window during the rollover it's not likely to fare well anyway.
- tropo 10y agoWhich hand signal (brake, left, right) do you most often give when having your arm out the window? Do you mean it, and follow through, or is this the old-fashioned equivalent of leaving your turn signal on? Note: hand signals are still legal, still tested on driver exams, and (as I saw a few weeks ago) still actually used for real.
