Well if your regulators actually fail to stop this at least it’s a good way to identify antisocial members of society
While true, it will be of very little help for me if somebody whom I know will get killed by this...
Additionally, all the car owners around it will start to feel less safe too (the US car phenomena). So maybe some people will start buying a small car instead of a tiny car, a medium car instead of a small one etc.
Indeed, it’s a true tragedy of the commons that can only be stopped at the regulatory level
I believe America was the only western nation to see increased car deaths since 2010. We also have drivers with aftermarket headlamps and brake lights that seem to have no rules or regulations for safety or standardization. Combined with electric cars having super sensitive acceleration and virtually no barrier to getting a drivers license it’s beyond dangerous here.
Except that everybody will have to buy them in order to feel safe
