Sorry, but that's exactly what happens when very small children suddenly bolt out of nowhere and get backed over. :-( it's not magic mate. Children never suddenly appear out of nowhere if you're paying attention. If you don't touch it, you can't break it. ; |

Cheers. |

I think you just left reason behind. you get one free. When small children are concerned reason often does not enter into the equation, they have random behavior. |

I think you just left reason behind. you get one free. I'd be highly grateful if you wouldn't tempt me to be rude with no content emotional arguments. If you don't touch it, you can't break it. ; |

20th Century Government Safety Mandate: additional cost to car in adjusted dollars? mirrors 1/50 of a video system? which was my original thought here, and the need/benefit being WAY oversold because frankly they want to sell us one. you can play 'safety first' to justify anything these days..amply proven. Cost/Benefit only favors the sellers after you've been worried into it. If you don't touch it, you can't break it. ; |

Drivers have no more responsibility in being safe drivers. Any accident they are involved in was caused by someone/something else. All drivers are innocent victims. The auto manufacturers need to be sued and forced to pay for all the auto accidents caused by their cars and all innocent victims need to be compensated for life. That's the only solution. Which is why two years after all cars have cameras, new legislation will come out to say the cameras must always record video, just for insurance purposes they say. Then the video will have to be stored in the cloud, in case the on-board storage is damaged in a accident. Then the video will be accessible to the insurance companies, who will monitor your driving and adjust premiums accordingly. (Read: up!) Then the video will be accessible to the police and government... "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen" Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |
