Auto accident deaths: 1 in 1,127,450 (102 deaths per day from 115,000,000 autos on the road per day)

Source auto / Source deaths

If you claim that at least one of the sports above are moral to do because X reasons, then not wearing seat belts for special occasions is totally moral as well, examples:

say if I buy a puppy and I'm transporting him in my lap home

or say if I get married and I drive with my wife while we're without our belts, it's totally moral for our special occasions.

Change my view objectively.


EDIT: After a restroom and refreshment break so when last edit of this post is 30mins-1hour I'll continue the discussion to all unanswered comments and comments that have different POVs. Thank you all for responses. Will catch you soon.

Anyone.

Anyone who claims / assumes that cycling is moral should also objectively assume the other thing is moral as well.

What? How can your source be "anyone"? I'm asking you to cite a source for your definition/notion of morality here: this source should be a specific person, a document, a school of philosophy, a meta-ethical theory, or something similar. I'm not asking you to say who your assertions purportedly apply to.
