If people truely cannot calculate this, we shouldn't have cars.
Personally I know my car quite well and its stopping distance in most conditions. I always operate it further than the stopping distance. If I couldn't, I wouldn't drive. It's not worth the risk for myself or anyone else.

- Handytinge 5y agoThese things are significantly less likely to cause the death of a stranger, especially as they're things we use in our own home. However if you don't know the basics of knife safety (you shouldn't throw them, they're sharp, etc), maybe you shouldn't operate one.
