I do a lot of night driving and haven’t killed anyone.
I don’t need a thermal camera to pay attention to the road in front of me. Drive to the conditions.
This is so fucking stupid because you can apply it to literally any safety standard.
I do a lot of driving and have never needed a seatbelt.
I do a lot of driving and I’ve never needed ABS.
I do a lot of driving and I’ve never needed disc brakes.
I do a lot of driving and I’ve never needed modern headlights.
I do a lot of driving and I’ve never needed a properly developed crash structure.
And of course it’s not just driving:
I don’t wear a hardhat or any other protective gear for my job. It’s never done me any harm.
Etc.
Pedestrians and cyclists in the dark can be almost impossible to see until you’re very close, if they’re wearing dark clothes. It’s not a bad thing to be able to see them better.
