    I agree to that extent, but I don’t think people will be deterred by it unless it’s not allowed by law.

    A car from the early '90s is still driven unless it becomes too expensive for the comfort it provides but safety does not seem to be a consideration for many at this price-point (and I guess at other price points too). Modern regular cars are far more safe than what was typical in the '90s and trucks are far less safe than regular modern cars, yet they’re on the road.

    As such, I think people people will keep using it, downplaying the risk involved. Many don’t treat cars as a boring means of transportation but rather as a desirable object. Us humans don’t act very logical when we want something.
