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.

Good post, and I agree 100% with you, but if the message is ignored, how is it an uproar?
