Let's see .... brakes on a car don't prevent all accidents. Neither do seat belts, windshield wipers or headlights. I guess we should stop requiring them on our cars. We should only require the one thing that will prevent ALL accidents ..... Wait. If someone is going to hit my car and I hit their car, I can prevent them from hitting more cars. So more cars will prevent accidents. Problem solved.
