A car is a killing machine. It's like waving a loaded gun. People don't realise how dangerous they are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Automobiles are dangerous as all get-out.
Cars are the reason we, you know, people live or die.
Modern motor vehicles are safer and more reliable than they have ever been - yet more than 1 million people are killed in car accidents around the world each year, and more than 50 million are injured. Why? Largely because one perilous element in the mechanics of driving remains unperfected by progress: the human being.
Even when they're not causing injury, human-controlled cars are often driven inefficiently, ineptly, antisocially, or in other ways additive to the sum of human misery.
When it comes to cars, only two varieties of people are possible - cowards and fools.
Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in harm's way. We might even envision ramming their cars or cutting them off in return, but do we actually do it? No, because the overwhelming majority of us never want to take another human life.
Most of us have to spend a lot of energy to learn how to drive a car. Then we have to spend the rest of our lives over-concentrating as we drive and text and eat a burrito and put on makeup. As a result, 30,000 people die every year in a car accident in the U.S.
There's no way we could take cars off the planet and not have our society fall apart. So they're a necessary evil, in that sense.
I don't really know much about cars.
Guns do kill. Unlike cars, that is all they do.
