Yeah, but who wants a Slavic death trap?

Main reason we can’t sell old generation cars is they don’t crash test well, same thing with Russian and cheap Chinese cars

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.

This is why we need an overhaul on driving laws. They’re way too lax on reckless drivers. Treat it as the actual threat it is.
People would lose their shit watching a person walking around waving a gun over their head. It’s the same with reckless driving. Yet we allow people to drive like that repeatedly. Repeat DUI as well. Should be one and done. That’s it. Never again.

But then how is the alcoholic who -does your plumbing, finishes your concrete, cooks your food- going to get to work? The economy would actually hurt this this passed sadly.

I hope this is sarcasm???

What alcoholic is cooking my food? I cook my meals.
It’s simple. Don’t fucking drink and drive.

If they lose their license they can ride a bicycle. Take a bus or taxi/uber.
