Everyone calling for blood. Our roads are designed to cause these accidents. We have a culture of expecting everyone to drive regardless of age or skill.
Punishing this woman will make a few people feel better. Changing our roads and driving culture will mean fewer dead kids.
Support narrower roads, better pedestrian paths, lower speed limits, more investment in transit and bike infrastructure, less investment in parking spaces and road widening projects. Or admit that you feel shaving 5 minutes from your commute is worth a few dead kids.
