And ‘tis why it’s super dangerous...

• fusiongyro 8y ago
  Every time I drive my feet are mere inches from a roaring engine that works by exploding toxic fuel, reaching temperatures high enough to give third degree burns, other cars flying past mine in the opposite direction with a combined speed difference of 60 to 150mph. Clearly we need to change the way cars are laid out so that there are ten additional feet between my gas pedal and my engine and an additional thirty feet between cars going opposite directions. For safety.

    You are not conscious of this, but your car certifications, the driving rules and the road design constraints precisely achieved that, after now nearly 100 years of continuous trial and error. And it will not stop.

      My point is that it is easy to make safe things sound dangerous using first-principles arguments absent any in-depth knowledge of the actual situation.
