Balderdash, it was death by stupidity

Why not wait for an authoritative report before jumping to conclusions?

Why not wait for an authoritative report before jumping to conclusions?

One of the contributing factors is the French roads.

Even now when you see a new report, there are no guard rails in that tunnel. Cars pass those pillars just a couple of feet away. That accident is just waiting to happen again when a car collides with a pillar.

When you drive on the interstate you will note that every overpass has guard rails to guide a car away from colliding with a pillar. That is not to protect the pillar. It is to prevent a car from colliding head on to a pillar that will stop the car in milliseconds. It is the sudden stop that kills.
