What is insane is calling a death/injuries made by car an accident.
An accident is utterly unavoidable.
And cars are a deterministic cause of death.
Cars are basically having way more kinetic energy than a bullet. Guns are free to have in USA, but are people free to shoot RPG, ak47, M60 in the street 3 feet away from kids without indignations or a cop intervening? The Jay walking is shifting the blame on the pedestrians.
Injuries/deaths caused by cars should be considered like homicides or attempt of homicides.
It is not a demonization in this case, it is a fair claim of responsibility since there is a causal link between driving a car with high kinetic energy and potential resulting death.
I am not even talking of pollution and chronic diseases like asthma.
