> For auto crashes, we’re talking about block level interventions, the kind of fine-grained design details that transportation departments are not able to perform. An assumption that's nowhere even stated, let alone supported: that auto crashes are amenable to highway engineering changes. Why is "reckless driving" dismissed as obviously wrong? > They need to recognize that the growing crash fatality rates are a direct challenge—even a rebuke—to their theory of traffic safety, excuse me: growing crash fatality rates?? Shouldn't he at least demonstrate that they ARE growing? As maerF0x0 demonstrates below, they are NOT growing, and roads and cars are certainly WAY safer than they were 50 years ago.
