    It’s not about not using safety standards.

    It’s about learning how to drive in a way that you won’t put anyone else in danger.

    Safety fearures are only a tool, you are the person who controls a 2000 pound vehicles that can kill others, so drive responsibly.

      It’s exactly about that.

      Oh you’re saying I shouldn’t run people over???

      Obviously you should drive responsibly. Where did I say otherwise?

      Shitting on better safety protocols is idiotic. You can’t just rely on 100% of people to behave flawlessly at all times. That’s why we have seatbelts and crash structures and ABS, etc etc.
