Wearing a helmet when riding in a car is likely safer, with appropriate seat belts, but we don't wear helmets and 5-point harnesses in passenger cars.
To turn around your question: Why do so many people insist on turning masks into a hill?
Masks are just one of many ways humanity can be marginally safer in an incredibly annoying fashion. Like wearing helmets in every passenger car.
- seanp2k2 5y agoI personally wish cars could be factory-optioned with 5points as I don’t find them uncomfortable, prefer to be held into the seat as it feels more secure for fun recreational driving, and the extra safety is nice. I’d have one in my sports car but unfortunately the factory hasn’t made it easy to fit. Doing it properly requires new racing seats and a full custom roll cage. It’s easily >$10k worth of work.
