[article] Pedestrians Are Dying in Record Numbers. There’s Nothing “Accidental” About It.

Freakonomics has an episode where they conclude the best way to murder someone in the US is via vehicle striking a pedestrian since the drivers almost never even get a sitation

giant cars adn reckless drivers make for a lot of death and dismemberment.

in my experinece it isn't someone driving 10 year old civic that is blowing through red lights and gross walks. it's a middle aged mom/dad in that brand new giant kia SUV they wish was an Audi.

We should relocate all of our shittiest drivers to D.C. and just let things work themselves out.
