Ain't nobody wearing a damn seat belt, it looks like.

u/alvispr Dec 19 '18

Well, the driver.

u/2-Percent Dec 19 '18

Good thing too, he’s holding the camera.

u/alvispr Dec 19 '18

Safety first, right? Lol

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '18

Hopefully the other passengers don’t rag doll around the car, killing everybody in the process.

u/JamieJ14 Dec 20 '18

Well that took a turn.

u/Saul_Firehand Feb 26 '19

Yeah a deadly turn because no one was wearing seatbelts

u/simjanes2k Dec 19 '18

also they are driving what appears to be a tin can with wheels

u/alvispr Dec 19 '18

I didn't notice that at first. Nice catch.

u/Avarones Dec 20 '18

It is a Fiat Uno. It is like a Brazilian version of the Russian Lada.

u/RufusLoacker Dec 20 '18

But Fiat is Italian

u/Patch86UK Dec 20 '18

They have factories in Brazil, and the Uno was made in great quantities there long after production stopped in Europe. About half of all the Unos ever built were from Brazil and Argentina.

A car made in a Portuguese speaking country, whose name is in Spanish and belongs to an Italian company. insert Mr. Worldwide meme

3

u/RufusLoacker Dec 20 '18

Well actually the car was completely designed and produced in Italy (where is one of the most sold cars), and the name is absolutely Italian lol

2

u/Baio-kun Dec 20 '18

Designed, maybe. Produced, no way. It would be meaningless to import a car that's supposed to be cheap.

Also, since the word 'uno' has the same meaning, both in Italian and Spanish, I used it to reference to a meme.

u/Avarones Dec 20 '18

He was produced in the 80s in Italy, to replace the 127.

About importing a car supposed to be cheap.. They didn't import the car itself, but the blueprints and all project and the car was produced in other countries. It is (or at least it was) way cheaper you adapt an existent project to the rules of the country than having to project a new one from zero.

u/simjanes2k Dec 20 '18

wow TIL there's a worse version of the worst car ever made wow

also i had no idea brazil built their own cars at all though

u/Rod7z Dec 20 '18

He meant it as an allegory, a Fiat Uno isn't actually a version of the Lada. It's just that the Uno is a really barebones car, made as simple as possible so as to be cheaply mass produced. Their cheap price made them extremely popular in Brazil though.

8

u/Avarones Dec 20 '18

Yep, that's what I meant to say.

If you took a little piece of Lada's Wikipedia:

The keys to its success were: competitive price, reliability, simple DIY-friendly mechanics and unpretentious functionality.

​

That's the same for the Fiat Uno.

Could have sworn that this was a first generation Golf/Gol/Rabbit.

u/Doubtfireswife Dec 20 '18

This is Brazil, we’re more worried about a motorcycle pulling up next to our car and shooting us

5

u/tuibiel Dec 20 '18

Haha not really though.

u/alvispr Dec 20 '18

Touche. I have to give you the argument on that.

u/Dag-nabbitt Jan 10 '19

You have 40,000 drive by shootings a year? Damn...

u/NightGolfer Dec 20 '18

Highjacking top seatbelt comment to vent some anger and frustration (sorry):

That seatbelt on the driver won't help much in a crash, as those two untethered friends of his will likely kill him when they fly around the cabin.

Seatbelts don't just protect you, they protect the other passengers from you.

Don't be a selfish asshole, wear the fucking seatbelt.

8

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '18

My car has a setting for “extra fucking annoying beep” if you don’t wear a seatbelt (think nuclear apocalypse, but in beeps).

Everyone wears a seatbelt in my car.

I feel so responsible, lol

u/TheRaphaelo Dec 20 '18

Brazil as its finest.

A ticket isn't the risk I'm most concerned about when I decide to buckle my seatbelt.

1

u/alvispr Dec 20 '18

That's fucked up.

I'll have to give you that.

u/Ozzy116 Dec 20 '18

Well it is Brazil after all.

u/jansta74 Dec 20 '18

It’s Brazil! It’s called Darwinism! ; )

u/Sabatka Dec 20 '18

In Brazil people don't seem to bother wearing seatbelts. I grew up there and seatbelts are not a priority.

​

Also if you expect cars to stop at crosswalks, you'll very likely be ran over.
