consider the difference between how industrial or commercial accidents are handled compared to roadway accidents. in those situations where a worker dies or is severly injured it is not treated as "a shame but oh well" the ministry of labour is brought in and things change. why? because workers are seen as being vulnerable in dangerous environments regardless of fault. if a worker makes a mistake and is killed it is treated as a fault in the design of the work environment and steps are taken to reduce those dangers even if the cause is gross negligence.
we need to start treating our roads in the same manner. we dont build stairs without railings and then blame the child or senior for falling.
