Now I'd like to know why in France it's la place du Mort, the seat of the dead...

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Because they didn't have a shotgun.

While this is probably some bullshit from the horse drawn carriage era, what I'd like to say is that statistically speaking riding shotgun is the most dangerous seat in car crashes, so the saying still works

[-] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Isn't that because a driver will instinctively pull left (instinct to protect their own body) when facing a head on collision in many cases? Also the rate of being thrown from the vehicle, being pierced by objects from outside the vehicle, and the risk of unsecured things (including passengers not belted in - wear your goddamn seatbelt!) flying forward from the back all being higher?

Not sure how the saying still works if those types of things are the main causes for passengers riding shotgun being statistically higher to get fatally injured

The shotgun Georg, who uses a small motorbike to jump inside 80,000 cars on highway and bites whoever is in the shotgun seat anually; is an outlier and their victims should be excluded from this survey.

La place du mort, c'est pas le siège du milieu a l'arrière ?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Ben j'ai toujours pensé que c'est la place du passager.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 17 hours ago

Ça dépend peut-être de la région.
