That’s a perfect 5:7 ratio!

Wow, so like 75%?

This is libertarian bullshit. In the UK we have had annual safety inspections for decades. It’s called an MOT. They check to make sure your car is safe to drive, and as it’s your car, you have to pay to fix it if it’s faulty. If you fail your MOT then your mandatory insurance is void and you will face legal repercussions if you’re caught driving without insurance. Cars are fucking dangerous enough with out having faulty brakes or bad wheel bearings or whatever, and of course you have to use approved parts because it’s safer. I’ve been to states many times and I’ve always been bemused by some of the absolute shitheaps that you see getting driven around, doors falling off, no bonnet/hood, no fucking brake lights, bald tyres. You would not be able to drive that shit over here because cars like that are death traps. Tbh it’s about time the US caught up on this shit. It’s not about coercing people into buying new cars, it’s to stop people getting needlessly hurt and property getting destoyed.

Just fucking die already. I want to open that bottle I’ve been saving for the occasion.

Alcohol isn’t a drug, it’s a drink.

Edit: I guess the niche 90s British comedy references don’t fly too well on the fediverse.
