Are you me, but Canadian? I completely and entirely agree with your comment (USA checking in). Some of our biggest issues are directly caused by our utter dependence on cars, but also by different driving laws in different areas, dumb exit / entrance designs, lack of signage in critical areas (especially regarding high-speed turns) and general disrepair of the roads. These things all compound to make accidents one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
There should be more uniform rules and regulations regarding letting just anyone drive a 2+ ton vehicle, and it's abhorrent how little you need to know to pass a driving test
I want to be nerdy about infrastructure, but I think, just like being a vet, it would make me way too sad lol
You're pretty on the money there, at least if you live in an area with poor infrastructure. I can't go outside without feeling a bit of dispair for how my city is built for cars rather than people. Car-centricity is everywhere I look.
