"The pattern that began to emerge revealed that crash victims were not, as many in the road transport sector, assumed – drunk and irresponsible drivers. For the most part, they were people who made small mistakes within a system that had no margin for error."

One of the biggest things I got was that the idea of engineering roadways around human mistakes seems to have eluded society for a very long time.
"officials were no longer allowed to design roads for idealised drivers who never became distracted or exceeded the speed limit. They had to make roads for real people who made mistakes."
We haven't been doing this. We should have. Touch base with your own governments. We all deserve safer roads.
