RESPONSES
“Disappointing! Don’t you want drivers to think for themselves, not just putter around like sheep? Pledge to take a driving test AND have my data mined by the cops at an accident scene? This goes too far!”
“I’d let my 6-year-old go driving on the highway RIGHT NOW if you’d let him.”
“If seat-belts work so well, what are YOU worried about?”
“I believe our bodies take care of driving themselves given the proper appendages – my hands can work the wheel and my feet can work the pedals. That is my right.”
“Roadside death stats mean nothing as they are funded by Big Seat-belt. Don’t push your ideals on me, buddy.”
“I believe in science… the science of building crash immunity. If enough drivers survive their crashes, we’ll ALL be fine.”
“CARVID-19 is a political hoax.”
“With all due respect, not everyone can wear a seat-belt for health reasons. And I really hope that seat-belt shaming them isn’t going to be the new norm at SDSMT.”
“I’ve never taken a driver’s test, and I’ve never got into a crash. I’ve been driving for 26 years. My son doesn’t either. Not sure I can get on that bandwagon.”
