Seems to me an even more effective and far cheaper solution to reducing people getting run over by reversing vehicles would be to put a loud backup alarm on all cars like large trucks have. It is a...

Not that those are bad points, but you don't NOT put in ANY safety features simply because you aren't going to put in ALL safety features. Your argument in reverse is: why not take out airbags and...

The intent? Votes I imagine. Most things done by government are done either to get votes or to get power. I'm not sure there is a lot of power to be directly gained here so it must be votes. It...

Sure, they are "designed" to be used as one of many tools to aid a driver to safely back up. Now, are they going to be used that way? The way I see and hear people talk about using them is as the...

To the first bolded point, they really don't. That's one of the reasons cars in Europe get such better gas mileage - they're far lighter without a lot of the safety stuff that's required here.

The hell...? I was referencing the fact that if you make the argument "we don't need x/y/z safety feature if people would just drive more safely", then you reduce everything to little to no safety...

And all of that has 0 to do with the unfortunate driver who runs into a kid with less responsible parents. You can't control the parenting, but you CAN control the blind spot in the car.
I am,...

And mine. If you're a parent, don't let your obnoxious snot-nosed punk hang out in your neighbor's driveway. If they're old enough to roam the sidewalks unattended, they're old enough to know to look...

None of those are really related to "making sure your kids don't play in the driveway behind the car".
As a matter of fact, cars disable the airbag if you have a child sitting up front, and now...

You can give that answer for just about everything. So why do we have air bags and seat belts and antilock brakes and so on.
If everyone just took more care driving, we wouldn't need all this...
