In a 2023 study in the UK, people were more in favor of public policy to make people safer as long topic was something other than cars.
…adults rated, at random, a set of statements about driving (“People shouldn’t drive in highly populated areas where other people have to breathe in the car fumes”) or a parallel set of statements with keywords changed to shift context (“People shouldn’t smoke in highly populated areas where other people have to breathe in the cigarette fumes”). Such context changes could radically alter responses (75% agreed with “People shouldn’t smoke…” but only 17% agreed with “People shouldn’t drive…”).
