We have an incredibly cavalier attitude toward driving, it is remarkable. A car is heavy machinery, when opperating one people should take it with the utmost seriousness and concentrate like they should when taking other peoples lives in their hands. My Aunt's minister's son was killed on a bike by a dump truck that did not see him, my aunt wrote and sang a song she dedicated to him, her collision insurance has been revoked because she hits things all the time, because she pays no attention, screw her f-ing song, attentive driving would be a much better dedication. But we do not take it seriously, and if we hit something or someone , "oh we just didn't see them." I have a solution, revoke licenses for serious amounts of time if you injure somone, manslaughter if you kill someone. If you constantly get in fender benders, perhaps three a year a few months without wheels would help your ability to concentrate. But WE DO NOT CARE, we are willing to feed the auto gods over 40 thousand human sacrafices a year. And we are going to make it worse, what percent of modern home construction takes place in subdivisions accessable ONLY by car? What percentage of modern communities are being designed with only cars as a viable mode of transportation in mind? I am sure we all here have gone exploring on our bikes and ended up in a place that is totally hostile to anything other than the automobile. It's nearly impossible to cross the streets, shoulders are covered in glass and odd metal bits, they suck, but we care not, as long as there is parking.
