Is car safety technology replacing common sense?

Actually, we don't. That's sheeple thinking that safety nannies want you to
believe. For example - where was the runaway rate of cars mowing people
over as their owners started them up without their foot on the brake?
Right - there never was a problem here. Yet - it's too common to find
people jumping on board that this must be a great idea. In reality, it's a
solution in search of a problem. Likewise the requirement to put your foot
on the brake to shift an automatic out of park.

 

Raise the test standard to the equivalent of a commercial class B, and
ban automatic transmissions and you'll get the worst of the problems off
the road...
