So, if all that statistical crap is really accurate then just govern motor vehicles to go no faster than walking speed and your problem is solved. Obviously, the speed/safety debate is, as it always has been, an issue with many sides. Current law is a compromise between safety and speed. Many politicians are reluctant to tell motorists that they may find themselves needing more time to get hither, thither and yon tomorrow than today.Proposals to slow traffic down would be a further compromise to what many motorists consider Big Brotherism NOW! To even suggest they will have to slow down causes fear and anger. Of course, take the motorist out of his vehicle and make him a pedestrian and his attitude changes immediately and remarkably because the only safe driver on the road is him. So slow everyone else down but leave him alone. |
