It’s all those blasted safety features! In my day we died every weekend, and we turned out fine!

There is a paradox with safety features that is really interesting: the safer you make roads, the more aggressive people drive. Better breaks led to people tailgating more aggressively. Better crumble zones has led to bigger and heavier cars. It’s almost like there is a threshold of risk that people naturally gravitate to and that maybe the best way to improve traffic safety is through education

The Takata airbag recall is the largest in U.S. history, involving over 67 million, and globally over 100 million, defective inflators that can explode, spraying metal fragments.

In order to have an effect, the driver has to know about the danger.
