Most cars aren’t multiple tons

Average sedan is 1.5 tons.

Exactly

So why did you comment again?

dreadpiratew t1_isgl55h wrote on October 15, 2022 at 8:47 PM

Because 1.5 is not multiple.

I don’t think you understand how numbers work.

I think “multiple” in this context means more than one, but integers only.

Multiple is a relative word. In a non-mathematical context such as this, it means having several of. Most vehicles are multi-ton beasts. Sedans, which are on the smaller side of vehicles, are still massive and heavy. 1.5+ is multiple in my opinion. Either way, why are you getting pedantic when the issue I brought up is based around the life-threatening decisions of op? Something way over a ton and a half, probably more, is extremely dangers moving over 15 mph. Nevermind if the driver is impaired to the point of not understanding their circumstances.
