OK he was joking but the debate is still open - hoe much should people driving be more responsible for their own safety by taking more care versus the idea that every car should be an armoured metal cage ready to engage in wrestling type moves with every other one.
At a certain point he was right. There are not enought passive safety devices or nanny-state regulations to prevent drivers from doing stupid tricks that, in a way or another, would put their lives at risk.
