And do all the speed louts see you coming and say: "We mustn't overtake on
this blind corner. The driver coming towards me on what is now the same side
of the road as I am on is a good driver. I must backtrack in time and not
overtake because good drivers don't have accidents."? I consider all the
modern improvements in safety essential, and with each of them have been an
early adopter.
Please get your attributions correct - that was my statement.
I don't have an airbag, and I'm still here, so I stand by it. We haven't
had airbags for most of the 100ish year history of the car, but we have
had brakes, and they've generally been regarded as essential. The safety
record hasn't been perfect, of course, but the tradeoff has been
considered acceptable, or cars would have been banned.
I also stand by the bit that says I'd keep an airbag if I had one, for
the reasons you give.
