Just a reminder of just how many lives starfleet could have saved over the years by simply introducing seatbelts…
They installed inertial dampeners with redundant systems. Good enough for most of the time.
In a car a seatbelt is useless most of the time. You wear it for those rare situations where bad things happen.
Quick! Take your seatbelt off! Move your body as close to the part of the automobile that will explode on impact as possible!
Somebody start working with the infotainment system so it can hit you with a bolt of lightning!
I have low-profile tires. All roads look like this to me.
Just a reminder to change your tires from winter to summer.
Winter tires are designed for cold weather and have bad grip in warmer weather.
That's not true. Winter tires grip just fine in warm weather. The only downsides of using winter tires in the summer are that they wear faster because of the softer rubber, have increased road noise due to the more agressive tread, and they're just typically more expensive than all weather tires. Technically there is a slight handling difference because of the deeper more agressive tread but not enough that it is even noticable to most people. So it's still a good idea to swap if you can, but they are not unsafe to use in the summer, just unwise for your wallet. If the vehicle you have them on isn't a daily driver it may not even make sense to switch them out.
Look at Richie Rich here, 8 tires a year is 7 more than I can afford.
This is not being rich, this is the minimum you need for a safe car when you have temperature differences of 40c between a cold winters day and a normal summers day.
You can get all season tires but they are bad both in summer and in winter, and only really a good alternative during spring snd autumn.
I bought my first (used) car last year, it came winter tires included.
What the hell is Start Rek? Is this a crash based racing game where you get rekt a lot?
that why you need a enduro motorcycle on french road…
