    So you’re saying it’s always the victims’ fault when they die in a car crash? Edit: eliminated a problem word to avoid pedantry

      I think they said they try hard not to be hit, and they hard not to be a driver who hits someone

      They also said other drivers are less safe

      A charitable way of reading it is it is telling you that you really should watch out for the bad drivers which won’t be them

        The best I can do is that they didn’t consider the factors that led to every person needing to be behind the wheel of a car as an almost daily occurrence in the first place. “Bad drivers” is a cop out that doesn’t help anybody but the automotive industry.

          Don’t you agree that we should be careful while we work to make things better and safer?

            I think that our first concern should be for helping our people rather than pointing fingers at them. It’s always somebody else whose life isn’t worth caring about or mobilizing for because they were just a bad person behaving wrongly. It’s always just a statistic. Until it happens to you. Do not fall for it.

            Nobody chooses to die or even to kill in an accident. Every one of us is victim to the system, most of all when we die as a product of it. We are not machines. Nobody should have to take part in such an authoritarian system that their risk of death is increased simply for being and acting human.
