You can stop and wait out rain or darkness. You can't change not wearing a seatbelt in an accident.

A seatbelt is why my dad is alive today, and he got the massive cross-chest bruise to prove it. He got better.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Also stuff like Rain-X exists which works quite well I like Aquapel even more, but it's hard to find, and now there are a ton of fakes on Amazon. RainX does seem to work better at slightly lower speeds though (anecdotally) but highway speeds Aquapel seems better and lasts longer. Either way I think where I live they should have mandatory wiper and tire standards and have it be subsidized -- I think it'd be cheaper than cleaning up accidents. But socialism, are freedom, etc

Rain x and wipers are fully useless without windshields. And windshields are a bigger liability than no windshields if you ain't got safety glass

My cousin t-boned a modernish Toyota while doing over 100km/h. Driver's side impact, sent the vehicle several hundred feet away into the bush. Airbags saved the driver. I'm not gonna deny that seatbelts save lives, because a seatbelt saved my cousin in the same accident, but airbags work miracles.

Great game. Thanks all! This answer has had me cackling for a while. Long term Covid Effects posted:Masks hanging off rear view mirrors for years - Deeters I don't do it but I see it constantly and it looks awful.

I do it, but I have a couple novelty air fresheners and a wooden demon head hanging there already so it doesn't distract much.

A college friend of mine got rear ended by a drunk going 60mph apparently, this was in 1980 or so. Luckily he had his dad’s ‘75 (or so) Caddy Fleetwood and for some reason it had airbags (his dad was a VIP of sorts). Walked away from that. Sadly he died a a few years ago from a very botched operation.

You could order Caddys with airbags for 75 and 76 (driver's and passenger side). https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-airbags-1991232
