>Can you not speed, not read HN while eating a burger, not blow through traffic lights without looking? Of course you can.

Seems like a lot of people in here would do those things and then when it goes poorly blame the car. It's basically the "stick in spokes" meme.

>It would be like arguing against buses because a bus driver can wig out and drive through a cliffside guardrail and there's nothing you can do about it.

Now that you mention it I'm pretty sure a Peter Pan bus did exactly that around here a few years back (I'm gonna go google it, find out that it was in like 2003 and feel old). Driver got confused which overpass ramp he was on and full sent it thinking there was a merge at the top he needed to be up to speed for when instead there was a sharp curve. But yeah, that behavior is def not the norm.
