@stefano i mean it is getting better, but i live in a city where ~10 years or so their reaction to people in cars getting insured because cars crashed in the metal barrier protecting the people on the sidewalk was removing the barrier...
but yes we need more cities making security a priority.

@albert I agree. Security should always be a priority.

@stefano I wish this stat for everyone. I lost a classmate in primary school to a senseless road death.

@bsdtv I agree. Unfortunately, too many people are still distracted by smartphones or those "tablets" on the dashboards.

@stefano tablets on their dashboards, very apt description.

@bsdtv removing physical buttons and replacing them with software leads to distractions, imho.

@stefano very much so. There is no sightless feedback as to what you are touching. Who here hasn't reached for the defrost knob while *barely* seeing out the windscreen on a stormy night?
