Piffle. Not to mention faulty logic. Actually, it's a LACK of logic. That's your forté, alright.
Cafe Standards don't kill. Car accidents kill. That includes things like:
bad drivers
drunk drivers
tired drivers
not wearing seat belts and/or shoulder harnesses
driving too fast for conditions
tailgaiting
distracted driving (as in texting, or talking on a cell phone, or smoking, etc)
A completely remarkable example of your inability to handle ANY valid logic.
Listen up you imbecile.
Accidents happen.
GIVEN that accidents happen, it would be kind of "nice" to make our vehicles more survivable, you douche bag.
CAFE standards are the antithesis of that.
Get your head from out of your colon, shithead.
CAFE "standards" are responsible for lots of perfectly avoidable deaths and lots of perfectly avoidable serious physical injuries.
Get RID of all CAFE standards.
Save lives.
Yer the imbecile.
Highway fatalities in number and as a percentage of the population have been dropping for years.
44,525 people were killed on the nation's roads in 1975 when the population was just shy of 216 million people.
33,808 people were killed on the nation's roads in 2009 when the population was almost 307 million people.
List of motor vehicle deaths in U.S. by year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based mostly on seat belts.
But if you think an automobile that is made of mostly plastic so it can get 28 MPG is safer than a 1972 Impala made of all steel except for the light domes....then you are allowing your ideology to get in the way of logic.
