      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

      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)

      "What's the point of that?" "The point is there are no negative consequences to doing it when you don't have to but the negative consequences of not doing it when you do have to are enormous so you should do it 100% of the time That's just math"

          Ehhhh, I don’t know about this example. If you accidentally drive off with the parking brake on you can damage your breaks.

          I’ve been driving for more than 55 years, and I almost always set the parking brake. It’s a damn good habit to be in. I say almost bc I once forgot & had to chase the car clear across a parking lot.
