I have always felt one of the saddest things about our society is that we accept these very preventable deaths.

When I was a teacher, about once a year a student would die in an accident. It just seemed so unnecessary, a 17 year healthy kid dead because we can't make cars safe.

I can't imagine cars without seat belts, but most Americans didn't bother with them before Nader came along.

It's definitely a black eye on our whole society when we can't be bothered to keep a basic right of transportation safe.

Maybe driverless cars are the answer, I don't know.
