These may be “vaccidents”, not accidents.. Some of the Dr’s that have been silenced have mentioned this problem.
Unless i missed something, miraculously the VT Legislature did not do their usual push for a primary enforcement seat belt law, like they have so many times in the past. Maybe their hatred and mistrust of the police makes them hesitant about giving them the extra power to pull someone over because it “didn’t look like their belt was on”? In any case, at least we still have some element of Darwinian evolution left in Vermont to offset all the coddling.
These 3 incidents do reek of Darwinism doesn’t it
DWD…driving while dead. Covid clot shots work their magic in many ways☠️
With fatal car accidents increasing like this, it’s obvious we need to ban new car sales and confiscate all existing cars. Since citizens can’t be trusted to be responsible car owners/operators, only government employees should be allowed to operate them.
