What do you think?

• Given the frequency of serious accidents, should mandatory advanced driver safety courses be required for license renewal every few years?


• Do you believe in-vehicle technology like automatic emergency braking is doing enough to prevent collisions, or does it create a false sense of security?


• Is the penalty for causing a fatal accident while distracted by a phone severe enough, or should it be treated with the same seriousness as driving under the influence?


• Should urban and suburban road designs be radically overhauled—even at great cost—to physically separate cars, bikes, and pedestrians to prevent tragedies?
