>>Imagine people crashed their car every day but “meh just needs a new bumper!”

I mean....have you ever been to Italty? Spain? Parts of france? I've definitely been to places where people bump into things with their cars pretty much every day and the only reaction was "meh, that's what bumpers are for". I mean those are not accidents, sure, but it shows a certain culture of recklessness.

Spain and France have traffic-related death rates more than double the safest European countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...
