Why I refuse to fit brakes to my car. - Dartz - 02-10-2015
So, I saw on google that there have been plenty of studies made into the causes and results of car accidents, but there almost always seems to be one commonality between all types of accident.
Nearly all cars involved in accidents applied their brakes beforehand. That can't possibly be a coincidence, can it?
So why do we fit cars with a feature that causes them to crash so much? Do you see how much money is invested in the 'science' of braking. How much advertising money goes in to the promotion of 'braking' to the average motorist. They're killing innocent drivers for the sake of profit. An entire industry built on the murder of the motorist.
I for one want no part in it.
So I have removed the brakes from my own car. I would advise all of you reading to do the same thing. This will have the additional benefit that you will arrive early at your destination.
Don't Stop. Take them off now.

Hey, don't laugh this off! I heard from somebody that some people they knew were working on a construction job, and they used their brakes, and when the building was finished, they all lost their jobs! Braking can't be good for you!

ah, but if no brakes, no need fix!
Hmm. if no need fix, no need spend money on parts or mechanics either. and to think I thought this was a BAD think.

Screw brake jobs. Go right to the root of the problem and embrace mandatory universal contraception/sterilization NOW. It'll take time for the benefits to kick in, but once they do... after all, birth is the ultimate cause of death, injury, and emotional trauma in the universe!

We all should follow in the tire tracks of The Big Bus and use retractable flags and pennents!
For fast stops, there is also the Bat-parachute to use. And paying people to pick them up and repack them is an economic stimulus!
