We have a tranaport system that kills a human being every 1.4 days, yet no-one wants to meddle with the fundamentals. It's all in the "too hard" basket.

Let's just "encourage everyone to share the road".

Because an aggressive idiot driving a hi-lift Ford Ranger is clearly a great sharer. 🙄 4/n

New Zealand combines very high car ownership rates with the worst road safety record in the OECD.

Deaths, as far as I can see, are widely regarded as "collateral damage" in the transport system.

Where is the popular outrage? As far as I can see there isn't any.
