And the car was modded to be even more deadly. Is this something else that will have to be regulated now, because of idiot boy-men?

Idiot males in cars never think of the consequences. They should look at the eyes of this man and think....
As well as killing himself and his friends, he also killed a beloved taxi driver in another car. Now his brother takes on all that weight because of foolish male actions. It happens too often 😞

#Drinkdriving penalties shld be drastically raised🇸🇬
"The severe traumatic brain injury Mr Ng suffered left him permanently incapacitated & he won't be able to work again. Someone will also hv to care for him for e rest of his life. Te penalty for #dangerousdriving causing grievous hurt for 1st-time offenders is up to 5yrs’ jail. It's high time tt e penalties for drink #driving be drastically raised, esp'ly when it results in permanent disability or death"

“It’s no secret that we have a staffing shortage so we’re going to have to be very precise and focus on the locations and violations that are causing the most harm.” the Traffic COmmander says.
I can't help but wonder - aren't the bad driving habits (eg running stop signs/lights, ignoring pedestrians and bicyclists, failing to yield, speeding, ...) formed driving in places where they don't cause accidents, because pedestrians and other drivers are scarce enough that the probability of collision is low? And that those bad driving habits when in a high use area are more likely to cause collisions withreal damage? And if so, maybe targeting enforcement exclusively or primarily in the high injury areas is less effective? Are they misapplying the Pareto Principle because of a faulty root cause analysis? Should we be thinking about #DangerousDriving habits rather than collision locations when designing enforcement?

I walk for most of my errands, and for stress relief. Every outing I observe at least one dangerous driver behavior, mostly running a light, often associated with aggressive acceleration as the light turns yellow. But there's also the driver who doesn't see the stop sign, or the pedestrian in the crosswalk at the 4 way stop. Oh yes, and the driver who does stop, and then turns without noticing a pedestrian with right of way in the cross walk.
ANd I've been wondering if there wasn;t some creative way to use video to at least let car owners knwo that theier vehicle has been used by a bad driver. Looks like other places have figured out a strategy to do so.

While trying to get a very local issue with high speed driving in a residential area addressed, Warwickshire County Council has essentially confirmed their reactive approach to road safety – one that relies on incidents occuring before measures may even be considered to address a problem, incidents which could include property damage, injury, serious injury, or even death –
