Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostOver here in NL, if an accident involves a car driver and a pedestrian or cyclist, then the car driver gets the legal blame by default, even if the pedestrian's wearing dark clothing and wobbling about drunk in the middle of the night, or even if the cyclist has no lights and is on the wrong side of the road. It supposedly protects 'weaker road users' against cars and trucks, but actually just encourages irresponsible behaviour.
I got used to it pretty quickly, but I have often wondered how many a moped riders a year get wiped out by foreigners who aren't used to coming to a complete standstill and looking over their shoulders when doing a right turn.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Ninky Nonk.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I hate to bring SouthPark into the debate, but clearly electric cars should make a sound similar to:-
Smuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggg.
That or they should play an endless loop of "I am a self righteous global warming believing barsteward".Comment
