Do you think the existence of traffic lights prevents accidents? <br /><br />It's the same with seat belts, helmets, etc. The government makes these asinine laws (as a tax revenue) but they prevent no accidents. For example, with seat belts, everyone knows that seat belts can help you from injury if there is an accident... So if the driver elects not to wear one - of he wants to be stupid - then, that is his choice. The government cannot prevent stupidity.<br /><br />But once again that's what we have car insurance for...mike in tokyo rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977446676243085409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-89802982945421817392011-01-09T09:21:39.257+09:002011-01-09T09:21:39.257+09:00I grew up in a small town - but we still had roads...I grew up in a small town - but we still had roads, intersections, etc... But no traffic signals. Fortunately, when you learn to drive, their are still rules of the road to learn to follow - e.g., when to stop, when to yield, who goes first at an intersection with no lights, etc... <br /><br />If you have license, you learned these. You do not need traffic signals to prove fault and liability in an accident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-23727780333869011972011-01-09T08:55:49.833+09:002011-01-09T08:55:49.833+09:00What happens when there's an accident?What happens when there's an accident?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
