    How about we mandate safer cars? Two ton trucks with 6 foot bull bars and shite viability aren’t helping anyone.

      Safer cars are causing their own problems.

      Improved Driver assistance systems are making drivers more complacent.

      Intrusion protections, crumple zones make vehicles larger and weigh more.

      What needs to happen is improved infrastructure so that people who are not competent, not mature enough and not legally permitted to drive don’t need to drive. This will (unfortunately) decimate the Automotive Industry and crash the economy.

        It won’t crash the economy, the automotive industry isn’t much of that at all in Australia because we have no manufacturers here anymore
