"Have the number of crashes gone way down?'
Number of people thrown out of their cars only to have the car they loved join them in the ditch - on top of them - you bet
Seems to me a congressman thought that same ting recently. He killed a man. Remember? Who is the idiot again?
When I raise these specters as future threats to freedom, my associates look at me like I'm crazy. Glad to know someone else sees a possible threat here too.
Requiring seat belts is akin to requiring age of 16 or a requirement to pass a test in order to qualify to drive.
No, mandating a million dollar coverage or no license.
Discount the deer it happens here every day. Maybe you should expand your horizon to see that not all things are everywhere as they are where you reside.
I offer you personal experience and you laugh. That shows that you care not for facts and rely on feeling alone. How nice for you.
I had a sperm donor not a father. A father says son. You are not my father. As I said before, those that call names do so for reasons.
Boy? I am no boy I am a grown man with boys of my own, so you lose on that account also.
They are not different when they all apply to all people the same especially when it comes to enforcement of them. You seem to be unable to ascend to that level of thinking.
Good day.
Nice one!
Please tell us that you ride a bus.
More name calling. Imagine that. WOW you sure do like to show your level of intellect don't you?
good day.
remote shut down? GM did that along time ago it is called "service engine soon" lights! Ha Ha. Onstar is on it already. I have no beef with that whatsoever.
GPS? in lots of cars now. Satilites can see a cig pack on the ground already, you make hay that is long since passed and claim it is coming. Funny really.
Cameras? well on public roadways that is to be expected. Just like in walmart, the bank, the ATM, Subway, the gas station. I like to pose to you anti camera folks that a DUKE lacross player is showing his INNOCENCE with a camera like the one you aim to oppose here in this post. Think about that to understand the two way street they provide.
Milage logging? Ummm odometers?
Now this one you really reach into the ozone for:
One could even argue that a seat belt is about stoppng distance also. In relation to your seat and the windsheild that is.
WOW... (Que the laugh track)
See, some people cannot even exhert self control long enough to allow the puter to wrok thru a hang up! HA HA.
What's wrong with mandating $1m coverage?
You seem to assume that it is 20x as expensive as $50k minimum coverage.
It isn't. Not even close. I pay $112 for 6 months of coverage at $500k liability per incident, on a European sports car (collision, uninsured, and comp are additional). That is the required max before the umbrella insurance takes over.
You see, the vast majority of claims are at low levels, but motorists should be required to insure against all the harm they may cause.
Bus and taxi, you aren't dricing are ya?
Helmets obstruct sight belts do not.
When old people fall alot they are bound in restraints and are alarmed to alert people they are up and about. This is proper for those that cannot care for themselves. Are yousaying we should not do so?
Dang, Williams, blew it in the second paragraph.
How about doing away with mandatory speed limits and just say that your insurance won't cover your accident if you were going 110 mph?
Or how about doing away with mandatory drivers licenses and having the insurance company not pay if you drive without a license?
These are EXACTLY the same principle you are proposing with seat belts - no difference.
Mandatory licenses, speed limits AND seat belts are all there to protect us. Why ignore one and accept the other two?
I would love a no pajamas mandate.
Oh wait, my bad! Never mind.
And I think there are some people who are so stupid that they cannot figure out the purpose of Shift Key.
When that idnividual is on the road with many others this argument loses some validity. If you lose control of your vehicle, even if after the initial collision, you are more likely to hit more cars(c0ontaining other people) on the road.
Are you seriously going to dispute even that???
