The top three causes of preventable fatal injury in the US are:
- poisoning (including drug overdoses)
- motor vehicles
- falls
We might generalize these to:
- chemistry
- engineering
- physics
thats true, but we got to agree N°3 is solely Isaac Newton’s fault, for inventing gravity
We could use engineering controls to limit the speed of consumer vehicles to 10 mph, still faster than a human can walk, but slow enough that most deadly accidents could be avoided.
Then establish administrative controls to have public transportation or other professional drivers (taxi operators) have “unlocked” vehicles. They would be required to have routine training and testing to keep their unlocked license.
#1 Distracted Driving. …
#2 Drunk and Drugged Driving. …
#3 Poor Weather. …
#4 Reckless Driving and Road Rage. …
#5 Speeding. …
limiting speed would not affect the leading 4 causes of car accidents
