Stupid vs Stupid
Radio NZ reports:
New Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle has taken “full responsibility” after not wearing a seatbelt in the back of a cab on Thursday morning.
They shared video on Instagram this morning, promoting their speech for this afternoon’s third reading of the Taranaki Maunga Collective Redress Bill.
It’s clear Doyle is not wearing a seatbelt in the headshot video, which has since been taken down.
The Greens have been complaining that restoring a 100 km/hr speed limit to rural roads will kill people, and then one of their MPs is not wearing a seatbelt in a vehicle. If a car crashes, the chance of death is much much higher from not wearing a seatbelt, than from driving 20 km/hr faster.
But why this is a real case of stupid vs stupid is that not wearing a seatbelt is stupid enough, but to film yourself in the cab not wearing a seatbelt and sharing it on social media is arguably even more stupid.
