I think we can allow adult car owners to decide on their own what is a genuine hazard and what is scaremongering.

- mikeheaton 5y agoNo that’s literally what minimum safety standards are for, because we can’t expect consumers to do that effectively. And while imperfect they’ve been demonstrated over many decades to improve safety and public welfare. Also because if your front hood pops up and you swerve and crash your car, it puts other road users in danger not just your adult car owning sef.
- ouid 5y agoUh, you do realize that a collision requires, at a minimum, two rigid objects?
- kaba0 5y agoYeah, and any adult can also decide to drive without license, and drunk as well, because they are responsible human beings. Oh wait
- scrozart 5y agoJust like guns and alcohol, right? You're refusing to actually think about this.

- cush 5y agoIn general, roads are shared between multiple adults. When one adult is being a dangerous moron, the other adults can create systems to prevent said moron from being on the road. This is how regulation is born. So the decision was never the moron’s to make in the first place.
- hulitu 5y ago"But officer, i decided that i don't need headlights in the dark. I can sense the road". Shall we allow also drunk adult car owners to decide on their own what is a genuine hazard and what is scaremongering ?
