    You’re conflating the severity of the consequences to the likelihood of it happening.

    The likelihood of getting in a crash is not higher if your feet are on the dash. The likelihood of your injuries being worse, way worse, is. That’s the point of plenty of plenty of precautions.

    Do you think seatbelts aren’t necessary because they don’t make you less likely to crash?

      I’m not conflating it, I’m saying it’s human psychology to pay more attention to the more horrible outcome, rather than to how likely a situation is to happen.
