But yet we expect cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians to share the roads with American-sized automobiles? If American roads are unsafe for anything that doesn't weigh a couple tons, I think that is the problem that lawmakers should be addressing.

They do however, care a great deal about corporate profits. That's the system we've built, and it's a very good one if you're a corporation.
