The bottom right is really the only valid reason. I'd love to get a small car but between them not really being sold in the US anymore and the crash incompatibility, I gotta pass.although there is increasingly little to live for so maybe I'll just get a donorcycle and say fuck it
No, it's a terrible reason. It's complicit with the system for a level of danger reduction that is really not enough, and intentionally endangering other kids for your own children's benefits. You merely continue the cycle. It's short sighted at best.
Well, if you kill an entire family or children, you take multiple future gigacar drivers off the road, so in a way it's actually rather productive for the movement.
