If you learn a bit more about cars you'll find there are lots of old
cars with no provision for a battery clamp. They tend to be prized
rather than called silly. I have no problem with having driven some
pieces of history, and far from your assertion that such is a danger,
classic cars in fact have a better safety record on the road than modern
ones. It appears that paradox and its explanation are things you know
nothing about.


Please give an actual example of a production car supplied with no
battery
clamp. Should be very easy for you since they are so common in your
experience.


Lada Riva.


Dont believe that there is no battery clamp on the bottom of this battery.

Commer walkthrough.


The first car I owned was a 1954 MG Magnette. Which had a battery clamp.
And all the many I've owned since have a method of securing the battery
too.


But older ones don't, and some post 54 ones don't.


The Riva was made since 1967.
