And this whole "luck" thing smacks of a belief in predestination. Check out the road toll in countries where the dominant religion is based on life being preordained, mapped out, unchangeable. Absolutely murderous.
Feeling lucky today Siriwat?
Oops, I just fed the troll a cupcake. Sorry.
None of my imaginary friends allow that particular excuse.
But I'm still OK with roughly the current trade-off between road transport advantages vs disadvantages. I mean, when was the last time anyone rounded up the cost of NOT using road transport? And why not? How can you even have a discussion about road safety that doesn't involve the benefits of the system, or the costs of the alternatives? I'd suggest we could kill and maim a hell of a lot more than we currently do without making more than an insignificant dent in the cost of not using your car ever again.
Which rolls nicely into my pet bitch about teh feds closing roads for fucking hours after a minor incident, waiting for fuck knows what, often costing tens of thousands of hours of everyone else's time, all in the name of the fanatical pursuit of the vanishingly small end of the diminishing returns on hugely discredited road safety "initiatives". Get the fucking car off the road, hose the worst of the blood off of it and get out of the fucking way ffs.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
