I’ll frame it in terms of outcomes: I don’t think any pedestrian or cyclist should be killed anonymously by a driver. I also don’t think drivers should feel empowered to casually disregard the laws of the road, as they currently do when they feel as if there are no consequences.
That doesn’t have to mean “government cameras”; I’m open to any solution that achieves those goals, including stricter licensing, urban redesign, harsher fines, etc.
- osigurdson 3y agoWhen discussing populations, stating that a certain outcome should never happen isn’t reasonable. We need to look at the current rate and try to improve upon it.
- woodruffw 3y agoYou can replace “any” with “a vanishingly small number” if it makes the comment more palatable to you.
