    Maybe they should put a warning label on cars too, “Warning: May collide with children.”

    know the risks, people!

    they should put a warning label on pens. “Warning: May stab in eye”

      While not strictly required, where i live you get to shave off a few months between the first and second levels of your license if you take lessons, and a required part of those lessons is watching an uncensored video on the consequences of drunk driving, speeding in school zones and not respecting semis. It left quite the impression.

        Between Red Asphalt and an AP forensic criminology unit on vehicular collision I was successfully motivated to stay alive and in one piece while driving. Honestly probably kept me from being incredibly stupid on my motorcycle more than once as well.

      I don’t know how it works where you live but where I live you literally have to pass a test indicating that you know how to operate a car and how insanely dangerous operating one is before you can be licensed to drive.

      That’s a bad faith strawman.
