I find one of the most hideous problems of living in mediocrity to be
putting up with (or surviving) idiotic traffic. Nobody in power
acknowledges it to be a problem (only DUI is), let alone offers a
solution.

Just wait until they find out about Swedish "Vision Zero" and try to
adopt it to your local conditions...

You'll be missing the times when you could drive like an idiot... ;-)
They're idiots themselves. *An 18-wheeler rolling over you at 30 km/hr is
going to kill you just as dead as if it was going 300.
And I'd like to see their numbers that prove that one can't be seriously
injured or killed in a 30 km/hr pedestrian impact.-
It's not the impact, it's the braking distances.
But I *would* like to see 18 wheelers at 300 kph, especially on a
curved circuit like the Toronto GP course. Turns 3, 4, and 7 would be
wild.
