It literally is from the pandemic. And no, I’m not saying that prior to the pandemic Newton’s 2nd law of motion didn’t apply, and you know I wasn’t. Stop being purposely obtuse.

I said quoting driving stats during a time of unprecedented and unusual driving conditions should not be touted as being reflective of all time.

You said fun cars should be banned. You clearly do have an issue with them.

Dude, everything I quoted were generic facts about speeding and accidents. Why do you think that because the article was written during the pandemic those things only apply during pandemic? Do you really have such serious comprehension issues?

  They were explicitly talking about how people drove and had incidents during the lockdown period. Read what you posted.
  
  The hilarity in saying I’m the one with reading comprehension issues.
  
  Apologies for my late reply, I was busy driving my sports car on public roads, having a blast.

    “And speed is the decisive factor in a car crash’s severity. Everything else — drunk driving, distracted driving, bad weather — makes crashes more likely to happen, but speed is the difference between life and death”
    
    “Controlling speeds on roads is the most important goal of any car safety strategy.”
    
    This only applies during the pandemic? What about the part about “any car safety strategy”? Sorry but if you have problems understanding a short, simple sentence then we don’t have anything to talk about.

    Nice try. But we both know what your comment said
    
    “According to several traffic experts I spoke with, the explanation for the 2020 fatality spike is relatively straightforward: With fewer cars on the road during quarantine, traffic congestion was all but eliminated, which emboldened people to drive at lethal speeds.”
    
    Must make you absolutely seethe that sports cars crash the least.
