We don’t need to ban vehicles. Just put greater emphasis on making roads, and vehicles, much safer.

- the8472 7y agoOk, the magical fairy has implemented the measures you had in mind, now 24 instead of 245 children die every year. Is it still too many? If yes, where exactly does too many stop?
- Reason077 7y agoGoing from 245 to 24 would be an enormous success. So long as there are practical technologies and designs to improve safety, and there are many, then yes - zero should remain the goal.
- the8472 7y ago> So long as there are practical technologies and designs to improve safety [...] Sure, this is a reasonable condition since "practical" subsumes about any caveat. But it is fundamentally incompatible with: > zero should remain the goal. You can asymptotically approach zero, but you cannot reach zero. So setting it as goal is aiming for something unachievable and thus a policy failure. It would be better to set goals that are actually achievable within some timeframe.
