    This is so fucking stupid because you can apply it to literally any safety standard.

    And then you write something exactly opposite.

    OP writes about “drive to the conditions” which is like… Your responsibility as the driver. If you can’t react to people on the road, slow down.

    And you write about being recless.

      No I didn’t. What I proceeded to write lines up 100% with what I said prior.

      OP writes about “drive to the conditions” which is like… Your responsibility as the driver. If you can’t react to people on the road, slow down.

      Having no safety standards and leaving everything to “just do what you think is right” is a recipe for disaster.

      I can’t even believe this needs to be explained.

        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.
