Revision as of 13:22, 31 March 2017 by Amisom (talk | contribs) (article meets notability policy)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Tullock Spike was a thought experiment by the American economist Gordon Tullock. Tullock suggested that if governments were serious about making motorists drive more safely, they should mandate that a sharp spike be installed in the center of each car's steering wheel, to increase the probability that an accident would be fatal to the driver. Tullock's idea was that the normal process of risk compensation would then lead to safer driving by the affected drivers.
