Also, 36,500 people were killed, and 4.5 million people were injured in the USA in 2019.

This report makes the mistake of blaming individuals for not wearing seatbelts and speeding, when a shift in urban design is necessary to mitigate this disaster.

    Pretty much this.

    I’d rather be driven somewhere in a luxury Greyhound equivalent funded with the money saved as a result of less driving, rather than sit in traffic idle and inhaling exhaust for hours

    Where I am we now have fully air conditioned electric buses with phone chargers, bankrolled by the govt. It’s nice not having to deal with other drivers on the road
