      Cars have crumple zones. Nobody would be hurt, and it would prevent pedestrians from being hurt in the future.

        Except for the fact that people sometimes get seriously injured in 15 mph accidents all the time

        you realize that not everyone is as healthy/strong as the average man. do you really want an elderly person or a chronically ill person subjected to a head on collision ?

          If they don’t want to smash into things, they can drive to the conditions. Their cars have lights, it’s just a matter of using them properly by driving at an appropriate speed.

            the ‘conditions’ dont include a maniac camouflaging dangerous objects to purposely make innocent people crash.

              If they didn’t smash into the bin, then sooner or later they’d risk smashing people instead. Drag would rather bins be run over than people. They won’t be innocent when their reckless driving gets someone killed.

                Actually, I agree! We should also shoot dead drug users and lowlifes… otherwise they’re going to hurt someone eventually!

                  Letting reckless drivers run over a bin won’t cause any deaths unless they’re going fast enough to turn a pedestrian into red paint. For all real world cases, it’ll simply be a bit of self-inflicted property damage.

                    okay. i suppose a more similar comparison would be the police distributing laced weed (or other drugs, if weed is legal where u live). it only hurts the druggies who are reckless enough to take drugs, right ?

                    you are also forgetting the fact that a painted bin will still be an inconvenience for the well-intentioned driver. you arent making it better for them. you are only making it detrimental to those who dont react in time.
