Maybe more enforcement isn't the solution? Traffic stops are far more common in the US than the UK, but the US has far higher road deaths, even when you adjust

Maybe more enforcement isn't the solution? Traffic stops are far more common in the US than the UK, but the US has far higher road deaths, even when you adjust for the fact that Americans spend more time travelling by road. Maybe the cause of America's excess road deaths is something else?
- alkonaut 6y agoThe US has terrible infrastructure (in many parts of the US you can find a 50mph multi-lane road in a plane 4-way intersection to another similar road, where a sleeping or drunk driver might just sped through a red light and T-bone someone!). Infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians is often bad. There is also no zero acceptance for drunk driving. You see people drive to restaurants, have a glass of wine or two, then drive home. Unimaginable.
