> Any situation that can be permanently resolved by education and intelligence, rather than by brute-forcing a constant 'workaround', would seem to me to be the best way forwards Hard disagree. You're essentially proposing the "solution" that nobody should ever make mistakes, and if someone does make a mistake, we should educate them to prevent the mistake in the future. In studies of disaster prevention, this has been shown to be ineffective time and time again: training does not always work in a real situation. Should every driver learn how to control a skid? Yes. Should we rely on that type of training as a substitute for other measures? Surely not, if only because the driving test doesn't have kids in the back or a fallen tree blocking the road. The current solution is to adjust the environment in such a way as to make mistakes less likely and less damaging. This is what disaster prevention experts recommend. Now, salting roads is not the only way to do this: personally, I think snow tires, tire chains, and TCS software are all better interventions depending on the situation. Putting it all on training, on the other hand, will get people killed.
