Road deaths and road deaths rates have been both falling over the years. Of courser, it is nearly impossible to know exactly why.

There has been a lot of innovation around road safety over the years. if there were no incentive, there would not be innovation.

I can't speak for many, but I know our company years ago had someone form the MN DOT come talk to us around road safety and design, and they actually have a pretty good database and procedure in how they prioritize various projects.

It is usually when the politicians get in the way that problems are caused....in my opinion.

I think in some ways Europeans are ahead of us, as there is no doubt that round abouts are the safest intersections around.

I have also noticed they are starting to design on and off ramps differently with fewer lights and different traffic patterns

Quick poll: I don't carry auto insurance. Who is the victim? - pickle MU - 1/4 09:43:34

     Today...no one - meatiger MU - 1/4 10:17:33
          The answer is always D (nm) - pickle MU - 1/4 10:38:35
               So what is your solution to the occurrence of B)? - Mizzou Lou KC - 1/4 10:47:39
                    i don't have one - pickle MU - 1/4 10:49:12
                         "Hope"? - Mizzou Lou KC - 1/4 10:52:41
                              Yes, hope. But "I don't know" was my answer to your question - pickle MU - 1/4 10:58:27
                                   I'm not missing the point at all - Mizzou Lou KC - 1/4 11:24:35
                                        You are missing the point, Lou - pickle MU - 1/4 11:48:53
                                             And I have stated as mamy times, including today - Mizzou Lou KC - 1/4 18:42:56
               THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!(nm) - cnk ATL - 1/4 10:43:14
          They still wouldn't be a victim of him not having auto - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 1/4 10:26:42
               correct - and there were so many victims of this combination - tigerdb MU - 1/4 10:48:00
               isn't it astonishing how folks let their presumptions and - 90Tiger MU - 1/4 10:37:27
               Agree, but play out the facts. How is the person made - tman MU - 1/4 10:29:50
                    No one is ever "made whole" - pickle MU - 1/4 10:39:40
                         Should that be required - tman MU - 1/4 10:42:27
                              That's for the property owner (i.e. the insurance provider) - pickle MU - 1/4 10:47:59
                                   So people have no personal responsibility - tman MU - 1/4 10:48:53
                                        you didn't ask about personal responsibility - pickle MU - 1/4 10:50:30
                                             Is personal liability better. It appears you agree - tman MU - 1/4 10:59:26
                                                  Better than what? I'm not sure where you're going here - pickle MU - 1/4 11:21:07
                    How are they made whole if someone who refuses to - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 1/4 10:31:14
                         You are changing the paradigm as now you have a victim - tman MU - 1/4 10:41:01

                                   Under what basis for the civil suit. Also don't forget - tman MU - 1/4 10:46:33
                                        You are very confused (nm) - pickle MU - 1/4 11:50:26
                                        huh? negligence suits aren't dependent on the defendant - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 1/4 10:51:05
                                             In pickletopia they are dependent on whether or not the - Tigrrrr! MU - 1/4 11:01:03

                         RE: I agree(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/4 10:45:29
                    I will play along with no law requiring car insurance - tman MU - 1/4 10:29:00
                         That can happen with insurance. - ummmm MU - 1/4 10:32:40
                              Yes, but you at least have recourse via courts - tman MU - 1/4 10:43:54
                                   I'm saying that you can cause some serious injuries - ummmm MU - 1/4 10:45:15
                                        Understand, but your basis for going after them - tman MU - 1/4 10:48:07
                                             What basis? And who is going after who here? (nm) - ummmm MU - 1/4 10:49:54
                         That should be the punishment - Mormad MU - 1/4 10:31:51
                    I could also see a point - meatiger MU - 1/4 10:25:25
                         Yes, also private road companies would very likely carry - ummmm MU - 1/4 10:32:00

                    Risk is irrelevant to the issue here (nm) - pickle MU - 1/4 10:14:17
                         Even more wrong - FootballRefugee MU - 1/4 10:21:27
                              the issue is being forced to purchase a product - pickle MU - 1/4 10:30:59

                                                  Both are products a person is *forced* to purchase - pickle MU - 1/4 10:28:52
