Pardon me, but this entire digression borders on insane. Here’s a handy guide for anyone who is debating whether they should coast downhill or leave their car in gear

They’ve acknowledged it’s terrible, but also said its usage is mandated by corporate forces beyond their control.

Uh, recovering the deductible from an at-fault party SHOULD happen and happens all the time. It’s called subrogation and if the other party has insurance, then your insurance company will almost assuredly recover the deductible from them.

I was thinking more along the lines of...

This teaching method is the reason why our 4 year old gets everyone an ice for any and all injuries - since whenever he would hit/throw/do something hurtful to his older siblings we’d ask him to get them an ice. Now it’s:
