  While this is probably some bullshit from the horse drawn carriage era, what I’d like to say is that statistically speaking riding shotgun is the most dangerous seat in car crashes, so the saying still works

    Victoms of the shotgun killer, who uses a small motorbike to jump inside 80,000 cars on highway and murders the person sitting in shotgun seat anually; is an outlier and the victims should be excluded from the survey.

    Isn’t that because a driver will instinctively pull left (instinct to protect their own body) when facing a head on collision in many cases? Also the rate of being thrown from the vehicle, being pierced by objects from outside the vehicle, and the risk of unsecured things (including passengers not belted in - wear your goddamn seatbelt!) flying forward from the back all being higher?

    Not sure how the saying still works if those types of things are the main causes for passengers riding shotgun being statistically higher to get fatally injured

  Because they didn’t have a shotgun.

      Ça dépend peut-être de la région.
