I don’t drive it at night, I wouldn’t be comfortable doing so! Technically it wouldn’t be illegal.

You asked “How is it your fault?” I am explaining how you will be found at fault. Obviously everyone doesn’t drive with a big safety envelope, it would cause chaos during busy times - but people should still leave enough distance based on their speed, reaction, and vehicle’s stopping ability. If your judgement is off

While brake lights are helpful (and today required) indicators, you should still keep enough distance between you and the car in front to react to their stopping - if you don’t then its your fault. Bicycles don’t have brake lights, and neither does my 1922 Model T Ford - wasn’t required then. It comes down to you

(USA) I wouldn’t go and blame a whole country, we were required to have a graphing calculator high school math (no calculators in my district before high school). I know other school districts that didn’t allow them.

When I was in highschool we had graphing calculators, and used them on exams...

Looks like the head to ass distance is the same as it would be if they were sitting next to you... except right now there is no barrier.

The first diagram shows that the distance from nose to anus in the upright position is about the same distance as it would be if they were sitting next to you... except there is no barrier from the person sitting next to you. No worse than it is now the way I see it.

It is the same guy, dotted outline is the lay flat position of the solid outline guy - this design is amazing.

Fart sniffing position has a dotted outline, because it is the lay flat position of the seated imagine directly above the nose.... I think everyone is looking at this drawing wrong - this layout is amazing and I can only pray the implement it quickly on overseas flights.

who cares?, there will be some solid wall between you an them (need to keep your fingers away from the pinch points of their seat mechanism) and honestly, it will likely be about the same distance as the anus sitting next to you with no wall.

I think #18 is the lay flat position of #12. Plenty of room for everyone, I think this is a terrific idea (as someone who has had many 14+ hour overseas flights in coach).

You are correct, they follow the guidance - but as a vehicle manufacturer, I can assure you that just because a vehicle meets federal regulations - local regulations can overrule the Feds.

Regardless, my point wasn’t the damage - it is an animals ability to avoid a fast moving machine in response to the OP.

Your right, my point was about animals avoiding speeding machines... substitute Moose for squirrel and that should more closely approximate the danger level of the animals to the machine.

The EPA (Federal?) may not stop you, but your local department of motor vehicles may decide not renew your registration if you fail emissions. Local regulations are what the average person needs to comply with, and usually the motor vehicle department and the state environmental protection folks do not collaborate.

I think you overestimate the abilities of birds... by that logic car’s wouldn’t need to worry about squirrels.

I’m not a cable guy either - but it’s on netflix if your curious.

I just watched the series “Mountain Men” on Netflix - Eustace is a character in the series... he is an entertaining character for sure. He has some wise things to say - but watch the show. I don’t think you want to model too much of your life after this guy.

Just checked, the order from top to bottom: Oral, Underarm, Rectal.

This thermometer offers multiple reading locations: Rectal, Underarm, Oral. (I have one for my baby daughter).
