How do we go about that then?
I've known of young men apparently fit and healthy that have keeled over and died from aneurysms What if they had been behind the wheel of a one and a half tonne lump of metal at the time this happened to them? Would it be less tragic for the accident victims and their relations to know that it was a 30 or 40 year old that had the accident?
Somehow I don't think so, accidents are just that, accidents, they happen when one set of circumstances are effected by another set of circumstances beyond peoples control.
Sadly pointing the blame at one group of motorists won't undo what has happened.
