I'm sitting here online all day, a partial quad permanently disabled by a careless driver. Forgotten even more than the 42,000 dead and gone is that a similar number are seriously and permanently disabled who are hardly ever cited even as a statistic. That the article cavalierly dismisses what automobiles regularly do to pedestrians and cyclists shows that behind the wheel the author (and most drivers) could give a flip about other human beings.

There are incredibly stupid people driving on American roads. MADD wants to claim only drinking causes accidents. I could train my Labrador Retreiver to drive better than most of the sober people I find myself surrounded by everyday on the way to and from. I am extremely cautious and avoid the obvious traps but it is the greatest risk I take on a given day. I don't know what the answer to the problem is, but one cannot deny the exisistence of a problem. People like yourself are fully aware of the danger, the rest can only pray and be as wary as possible.
