Not wearing a seat belt makes you 30 times more likely to be ejected during a crash:
This man does not understand mathematics!!!
I appreciate that you tried to steer the discussion to be more about how driving is orders of magnitude more dangerous than the bullshit this politician is fearmongering about, but this is still pretty off-topic. I’m not removing it this time (in part because there was already a significant number of comments by the time I noticed it), but I was pretty on-the-fence about it and similar posts are likely to be removed in the future.
A black guy got his window punched out and was dragged out of his car and beat up by the cops for “not wearing a seatbelt”. Anyone who doesn’t carry proof of citizenship can be hauled away by ICE on the pretext of “not wearing a searbelt”. But sure, tell everyone how your white privilege lets you get away with not wearing one, fuckface.
Natural selection
All of these GOP tough guys are such fragile pathetic babies.
In this case, nothing of value would be lost if he did a quick eject out the front window.
File this one under fuck around. We’ll refile under find out later.
Sound like this will work itself out.
I mean, you didn’t need to say more than “Oklahoma Senator” for me to know that he was an idiot, but the rest confirmed it. If you’re so scared, go back to OKC.
Would suck if there was a reason for him to slam on his brakes…. Like Luigi dropping a banana
Let’s pretend this man is not a disingenuous moron for a second:
Maybe this is just my country, but cars generally lock from the outside soon after they start accelerating from parked and have done so for at least a decade
How is car jacking even possible given that?
most car doors are easily defeated by a car jacker so long as the car jacker has elbows to use for breaking the window. the reason your doors lock when you start moving has more to do with that statistics show that locked doors are less likely to pop open in a collision, leading to more effective crumple zones. many cars that lock above 10 mph automatically also automatically unlock when stopped. i’ve always felt the old school solution of “car goes into drive, doors lock” was fine and that all these automatic systems add unnecessary complexity.
Makes sense. More conditioning to take anecdotal evidence over statistical.
Scared white people are the worse. Just tell people you’re a baby back bitch already.
This man does not understand mathematics!!!
And let’s keep it that way. If he is to learn it must be the hard way. I suggest finding bad drivers to cross paths with him regularly.
