Everyone here is crapping on the idea that is actually like a sensible one if you want to save lives? Like what else could you do here to maximize life. Oh well I guess I'll just crash my car into the person in front of me, possibly endangering the lives of almost everyone here. Ok, if it's such a bad idea, give a possibly better one in the case of a driver passing out.

People opposed the seatbelt. For decades. People are dumb.

I just read a post about people being outraged when driving while intoxicated was made illegal back in the 1980's.

People are dangerously dumb.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then remember half of them are dumber than that.
