    based on research or just politicians?

    It's not a very hard concept to understand

    I put my uncapped coffee mug on my dashboard because the cupholder is too low and I don't like washing the lid.

    Of course I've been in the emergency room 3 times this week with scalded testes.

    You probably just like having the pretty nurses there inspect your testes.

    based on the OP's pics, he drives from the back seat, thus the removal of driver headrest is necessary to see out the front. However, it appears he moves to within inches of the windshield when he needs to merge right. obviously removal of the seatbelt is necessary to accommodate all the climbing around.

    I just don't understand why, if he's so bothered by the headrest on the passenger seat, why he doesn't just fold the passenger seat flat.
    They do that for a reason: To get them out of the way.

    First thing I noticed in my change from my '04 to my '13 was the worse visibility but it took a few miles to get situated and now it's fine. I'd never remove the headrests.

    Op... before you go removing your headrests you might want to give your insurance company a call and see what they have to say about it... just saying. :rolleyes:

    Nothing like living on the edge....... What's next? Take out the seatbelts?

    I also use the little round mirrors. Works fine for me.

    I mean, all it takes is a little imagination

    You're holding a hot dog in your hand with a tater tot on the end. This is your proxy neck and head
    punch with said Weiner tot, and the floppy Weiner will break and the tater tot will probably go flying.

    Remake the contraption, but this time with a Tacoma headrest, and when punched, the hot dog tater tot won't tell the police about uncle Jim

    Elementary physics, really

    OP it is advised you also just not wear a seat belt and remove your airbags. I men's you don't even need any of that fancy safety gear since you are smarter than an engineer. So please whatever you do just get rid of all your safety gear.

    If only on this point, OP is correct. You have to look at deaths per miles traveled, there a lot more cars on the road, and relatively few motorcycles.

    "Motorcycles are less stable and less visible than cars and often have high performance capabilities. When motorcycles crash, their riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, so they're more likely to be injured or killed. The federal government estimates that per mile traveled in 2010, the number of deaths on motorcycles was about 30 times the number
    in cars. 1 "

    http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/motorcycles/topicoverview

    But I think the OP is still a troll looking for a drawn out argument.....for fun.
