We should be ashamed at the number of people that die everyday in car "accidents". Specially pedestrians and cyclists.
If you looked at our reaction to Covid, you'd think we value human life very much, but when you look at how our streets works, you realize we actually don't.
The problem is even worse in poor countries.
