Nice try. But we both know what your comment said

"According to several traffic experts I spoke with, the explanation for the 2020 fatality spike is relatively straightforward: With fewer cars on the road during quarantine, traffic congestion was all but eliminated, which emboldened people to drive at lethal speeds."

Not exactly representative of normal driving, is it? We aren't in lockdown, and traffic exists.

Must make you absolutely seethe that sports cars crash the least.

It honestly is hilarious. You're crying behind your phone screen at this imaginary danger. People enjoying driving, oh no ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

What a wet wipe lmao

You know what a spike is? Apparently not.

You're getting warmer, good boy

The fact there was a spike means there was a significant increase during lockdown.

So in other words, not representative of non-lockdown driving. But you know this, that's why you specifically chose that article.

I've already demonstrated that the safest cars on the road are almost all sports cars. Keep crying about it.

I think you're just jealous that you don't have one.

You're pretending, right? I mean you can't be this stupid... Or maybe?

"Increase" means that the problem existed before the lockdown and still exists after lockdown. If you really think people were speeding only during pandemic and deadly car accidents are 'imaginary danger' your and idiot. Keep enjoying your tuned up BMW. It just further confirms my theory that fast cars are for stupid people.

WOOOOOOOOOW you are so smart!!!! Speeding wasn't invented in 2020??!?!!!!

Never said that. Stop being stupid.

You deliberately quoted lockdown driving conditions and presented them as normal, which they aren't.

Bye bye dipshit. I've got some driving to do in my actually fun to drive car. You can just whimper in the corner like the sad little loser you are. Maybe when you pluck up the courage to you can drive your deathtrap Prius.

Sports cars are the safest cars on the road, and it makes you fucking weep ๐Ÿ˜‚
