  • 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.






  • Belgian here. It’s about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders’ wealth first.

    Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.

    Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.
