No, we have not even begun to do the obvious things that would save hundreds of thousands of lives a year.

Helmets in cars. Irritating but easy.
5 point harnesses. Easy
Annual license test. Not easy but effective
Annual medical
Speed limiters
Average speed checks on all roads
Mandatory soft coverings on all cars.


He list is endless, but for some reason despite 1.25 million deaths per year we ignore it and focus on the futile endeavour of trying to make the safest things in life safer to the detriment of enjoyment.

Perhaps it is because some tasks just seem to big. Where to begin with cars?
