A 2 year old was killed in a car accident near me. We should get rid of cars.
Funny how nobody wants to realize its the same argument isn't it? Same goes for DUIs fatalities and prohibition.
Thing is, I'm only half joking. Driving really is about the single most dangerous thing most of us do regularly, people don't take it seriously enough. I'd much rather have viable public transportation options, but I live in the suburbs of Phoenix so that's not going to happen in my lifetime.
I agree, the numbers are clear. But cars and prohibition aren't good virtue signals to get people elected, so people don't do it.
Also funny how nobody ever says you don't "need" a car, and then tell you to take public transit.
Especially those cars with evil features like comfort shifter handles, and rear spoilers, you know, assault cars.
Who let a 2 year old drive
It was a wrong way driver. I can't help but feel like the kid could have done better.
A 2 year old is not going to kill themselves operating a vehicle, unlike a gun. Even left unattended, they maybe put it in neutral.
Pretty sure I've heard of at least a couple cases where small children accidentally knocked a car into drive and caused serious damage, but that's not really the point I was making...
Cars are still designed to keep the occupants safe during a collision. Toddler is going to live no matter what way that car is pointed, unless there's a second car.
Accidental gun discharges don't need a passing second gun to be fatal.
