Typically an insurance doesn't save you money. If it did the insurer would go bankrupt.

Unless you know you will claim much more than a typical insuree, because you break a lot of stuff.

You should only take insurance on things you can't afford to replace (like your house, your car). If you can't replace your phone from savings, you shouldn't buy a high-end phone.

Dutchman here. I love riding in fresh snow. Very serene, empty roads, and plenty of grip. It takes effort, and I'll be wearing lots of layers, so I'm very warm.

Fuck old snow or black ice though. Like you say, snow is rare so I don't have studded tires or chains and stuff. Usually the cycle tracks are well salted and plowed though. There's even an app mhat can de bicycle route planning over plowed roads only.

My first guess was >!a beer mug!<, and I'm sticking to it.

Why wouldn't we accept that? We accept so many deaths by human car drivers.

It won't be hard to have self-driving cars be 10 times safer, which will save many lives. But that does mean we have to accept some deaths by self-driving cars.

No deaths would be awesome, but for that we would have to completely restructure all existing traffic infrastructure. In the current case there will allways be scenarios where even the best drivers (human or robot) won't be able to avoid a collision.
