      It's all SO STUPID It's unbearable in hindsight The thing about the "false sense of invincibility" especially - it's like we assholes who said that seatbelts couldn't possibly make a difference to death rates because it would just make people speed more

      NEWS FLASH PEOPLE ALREADY DID THAT You can go back in time to before we had seatbelts and see if people were generally much more safe, considerate drivers with the knowledge they didn't have seatbelts to save them Of course they weren't

      There's a general discussion to be had about "passive measures" vs "active measures" when it comes to any kind of safety Passive measures are ALWAYS BETTER It's always better to not require people to be conscious about their actions because THEY WON'T BE

      There is a huge, constant debate about this in every field and there are always experts concern trolling that passive protection "makes you stupid" and "trains you not to take responsibility for yourself" Okay but you CAN'T TRAIN PEOPLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEY WON'T DO IT

      it's not even "won't", it's literally "can't". We're just not wired for MAINTAINING the kind of awareness that's required for more than a short time. There's a reason why professions that require some semblance of it have ridiculously high rates of burnout and even suicide.

      I can't even let the handbrake off in a car without feeling twitchy about the seatbelt. Hell, it's instinctive even as a passenger to start buckling up. Masks and cycle helmets. One is possibly halfway from the other, chronologically. This could get messy....

      i mean, that's a culture-change thing, though. Nobody was twitchy about seatbelts in the 1970s. People successfully changed the culture around seatbelts precisely because a) they're very effective and b) they're a thing that has to be an unconscious habit in order to work.

      I have a whole thing about how much I rely on ingrained, mechanical habits to function and how this apparently offends other people Like my dad gave me shit for always reaching for the turn signal to turn regardless of whether there were other cars around

      "Who are you trying to signal? There's nobody behind you, this is an empty residential street" "If I have to think about it every time I signal then I'll forget about it someday when it matters"

          It wasn't just him, I got into a huge pointless fight with an ex over my habit of setting the parking brake every single time I turn off the car, even on a completely level surface (Iike inside the garage)
