I was looking at some of the laws which have gone into affect in Virginia. One that got me was SB 1416.
"Makes it a traffic infraction not to stop for pedestrians; becomes a Class 1 misdemeanor if it results in serious injury or death to a vulnerable road user.
The penalty of killing someone.

I would challenge you to find a villain in the annals of fiction who did anything more inhumane than "deported a 4 year old US citizen with stage 4 cancer without their medicine."
Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

It is unfortunate that programs such as this are rare in the United States.
Last week, Bogotá celebrated its weekly tradition of opening 75 miles of streets to 1.5 million bikers, walkers, roller skaters, and more. Its lessons have made their way around the world.

New study from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:
If hit by a sedan going 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.
If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.
