Although that is a good point,
I didn’t mean it like that.
I meant if it became normal for every person to have a minor crash every day because of the equivalent of “meh need to buy another $50 downtube!” and they consider it, well “a normal trip”
People do crash their cars every day, and they do a lot worse than damage the bumper. 42,000 people died on US roads last year. It's the biggest and deadliest example of "normalization of deviance". American and Canadian transport planners simply refuse to follow international best practices for roadway safety.
