The uproar starts at home. My daughter was taught that a car was the most lethal weapon she would ever own and to treat it accordingly. My grandson, now 8-1/2, is being taught the same thing. A licensed driving instructor is not enough. Every driver should take at least one defensive driving class, preferably at a racetrack.
If we all treated a car as a deadly weapon, accidents would be far fewer in number. If drunk drivers were treated and convicted as felons, accidents would be reduced. If there was more of a police presence on public roadways, there would be less speeders and, thus, less accidents. If only there weren’t so many ifs....
The uproar is out there. It is just ignored by drivers, police, judges, legislators.
