This is a nice thought, but if that older car hit a wall at the same rapid speed as any of those modern cars, everyone in it dies while the people in the modern car walk.
Well, not so much walk, but crawl on a pool of their blood racking up $$$$ cost to be paid by their families over the various future years of the rest of their lives.....have a crash? Surprise! You're a slave now! No need to thank me for saving your ass! Oh by the way, that left nipple is gone, and well, we removed the entire thing, but we did re attach your penis and your vagina..... Oh...what do you mean passenger? Ah that does explain the extra legs. You know what, you need to rest, well talk later, again, no need to thank, K bye!
...Huh? I was talking about the crumple zones and modern safety features.
Yes me too. Those allow you to survive as a slave.... High insurance, ambulance, hospital stay, meds,therapy... the other guy's Chevy Malibu convertible super charged turbo powered rear window cleaning system with real live 2D naked Lady decal.
If you just die, that's it, nothing to pay. Your quarter is over and daddy has no more quarters, but you owe nothing. If you survive, you're screwed.
