Drivers of the World, Slow Down!
Driving actually makes me very nervous. Not that I'm a physicist but the physics of mass and velocity combined with the inherent instability of mass automobile transit should make anyone nervous.
Mass and velocity run into the wall when you do, or a pole or other car. This is when your head strikes an unyielding structure wreaking your brain. Brain injuries comprise the highest in collision results. Brain injuries after which you are never the same, and often develop headaches and spastic diseases. Then there's the rest of your body. The crushing, the breaking. All so potential and there's really little to do if the dozing truck driver meets you. So yes. That's a stress unless you're taught to ignore it.
Car's are inherently unstable. Their very use requires constant correction. Things like flat tires combined with a curve can send you into a tree. In traffic at our speeds we're constantly colliding. Accidents, often gory, are daily news and a driving inconvenience. These are the facts of this transit system.
If we actually weighed the danger we've been conditioned in the strangest of ways to accept (Hotwheels, Dukes of Hazard, et. al.) as if it was not really a problem for us I suggest we would wear helmets, have crash cages installed and use double chest straps. We would also demand a 50 to 55 mile an hour speed limit and radical expansions of mass transit which the record shows far safer and economical.
We will when we do.
Until then here's a slogan for deviant evolutionaries:
