It is very well recognised that as cars become safer for the driver - disc, anti-lock brakes, aur bags, seat belts, crumple zones, etc drivers have an over-perception of their safety and reduced risk, and drive less carefully. The result is more death and injury to other road users outside the car.
People now have an over-reliance on safety devices, so they assume they cannot get injured so need not take precautions. And when the safety device fails or there isn’t one, they are in trouble.
As kids we learned risk and danger by often painful trial and error, and how thus to manage and avoid.
Natural immunity always beats vaccination for a broader and cross-immunity.
Absolutely agree! Have you heard of the traffic experiment conducted in the Netherlands? They removed all traffic signs and rules and it forced people to drive more consciously which didn't result in chaos and death, but the exact opposite! Not sure why it didn't lead to country wide policy change. Food for thought. I think people are too scared to live like this.
But plenty of kids still do, adults too.

Because there’s a lot of money in traffic signs/street furniture and it gives local Hitlers power over the plebs controlling their movement.
Duh! Follow the money. Should have thought of that. Sometimes I still want to believe in benevolent government. It’s why I moved back here. Sigh.
