there's a whole bunch of people who don't understand the purpose of crumple zones and actually do think a 70s car is better because the car doesn't break without being hogs about it.

education really letting everyone down

This stuff is always hilarious to me. Like you see essentially the entire industry in every country change their designs and materials to what they are now with crumple zones etc with experts in safety and car design. Then some random guy is like uhh yeah it's actually better if they do it old school.

This country was better when they let you drive drunk, like a man.

If what I know about disasters is correct, your chance of survival increases in relation to your drunkenness.

I was also taught this unfortunate truth. Allegedly it's because drunk people are so unaware they don't tense up during the crash and are essentially ragdolls. Apparently people tensing up in anticipation of the collision (normal reaction when sober) is how many people injure themselves.
