    Fuck cars and all but like I feel like we already largely agree on the appropriate safeguards for this and they involve not letting children operate, like, any heavy machinery.

    Like yeah this wouldn’t happen if the kid were on a bike but also this could happen if the kid were in a treaded excavator and we aren’t arguing to ban those.

      I guess there’s an argument to be made that the absurd ubiquity of cars makes underage incidents like this almost inevitable, but I agree this is certainly an edge case and not our primary complaint.
