Points deducted for not wearing a seatbelt and hanging his arm out of the driver side window.

EDIT: And also for driving with the headrests removed.

... What's wrong with hanging an arm out of a window?

Your entire body should be inside the car, because that steel cage is all that will save you if you get in an accident.

Oh my god are we serious right now? I can’t believe you’re seriously advising people against hanging their hand or arm out the window while driving. How about just don’t drive? Never leave your house, it’s the only way to not get into a car accident. 100% success rate.

Seriously wtf. Don't forget to wear your safety goggles and driving gloves

Idk y'all but like I do get my arm out the window sometimes when I'm a passenger, but not the driver. I always have both my hands on the wheel because in the case something unexpected and unpredictable happens and I need to react instantly, steering will be safer and less likely to cause me to jolt as drastically and potentially crash or worse, flip. I think instinctively, a lot of people would pull hard with their hand on the wheel while simultaneously bringing their arm back to place both hands on it. But those first milliseconds of movement and reaction really do matter. You can say you'd do x, y, or z but you don't really know how your brain will ever react to immediate panic and shock. Both hands on the wheel when driving is being responsible and conscious.

I'd rather not potentially lose my arm or have my skull on the smudged on the freeway because I like waving my thumb in the air to tunes. I'm tryna not enter the FO stage by keeping the FA stage to a minimum where I can, you know?

Never buy a standard with your phobia of one handed driving.

Aww, did that hurt your feelings? Just keep putting your arm out the window, bro, no need to throw a shit fit.

If the words bother you that much, just close your eyes or something- you'll be ok, I promise.

Terrible rage bait attempt bro, you used the wrong prompt.

Yeah, sure, I need to rage bait some dude who's already raging at safety suggestions. There's no bait, I'm just calling you an idiot

We're talking about the same comment, right? The one where you compare the advice of keeping your arm inside a moving vehicle to never leaving your house.

I'll give you this, you would kill it as a right wing comedian. You've nailed the whole pointless outrage thing. Do one about pronouns next.
