That's a very America-centric point of view, and completely not true if you live in a city designed to accommodate high-density living (or at the very least one without terrible public transport).
- Anon1096 9y agoThis comment is pedantic and unnecessary. For people that have to ride in a car to go places, it absolutely is necessary.
- logicchains 9y agoIt shows that it's possible to structure your life to not need a car, so you can significantly reduce the risk of a traffic accident.
- smt88 9y agoIt's not America-centric, it's anyplace-that-requires-a-car-centric. If you're putting a child in a car, it's safe to assume it's not usually for recreational purposes. It's usually because it's the easiest (or only) way to move them a certain distance.
- logicchains 9y agoYes, but people can choose to structure their life in ways that don't require putting children in cars, hence greatly reducing the risk of their children being in traffic accidents. So cars are not unavoidable, they're just a trade-off.
