Is this satire?

▲nekusar 2 days ago | parent [-]

Is school busses without seatbelts satire?

Are motorcycles without seatbelts or harnesses satire?

All im saying is that an adult should be able to choose to wear a seatbelt or not in their own vehicle. And also, shouldnt get fined for choosing to not wear one.

BTW, i wear one when i drive or am a passenger. And if im driving, i ask everyone to wear one.

Millions of deaths and injuries avoided as a result of seatbelts obligatory in many countries around the world do not share your world view.

So, you dont care about children on schoolbusses? None of them have seatbelts.

And motorcycles are explicitly allowed, and have no restraints or harnesses. Mopeds, same. Scooters, same. Bicycles, same.

Adults *should* have the right to do risky behaviors that increases the risk of bodily injury. But no matter the link you put forth, doesnt explain why fucking schoolbusses that transport years 6-18 dont have seatbelts.
