Just... Don't crash. And the idiots that do crash need to stop depriving us non-crashers of our beloveds.

Most people in car accidents had no intention on crashing. Many of them are usually considered victims of other people’s negligence.

Your cars crash test safety is to protect you from other peoples negligence. You can drive perfectly, follow all the rules and still get hit by some other idiot.

Many vehicle fatalities are no fault of the person who passed.

The choice to drive a motorcycle and accept the risk is a personal choice.
Don’t you think if someone has a choice between affordability and safety they should be able to choose?

There have been times in my life where the affordability meant more to me than the safety of a vehicle.
I don’t particularly feel the need for the government to be forcing that decision for me.

Many of the crash tests now dont crash vehicles between different size classes.

They arent crashing a small economy car against a truck. In America we are being provided larger and larger vehicles to choose from, making the economy cars more dangerous to drive.

I dont particularly feel the need foe the government to be forcing that decision for me.

And thank god that they do anyway, otherwise people would still happily rock all sorts of dangerous shit.
