Re CBS report: Heaven forbid that we build our rails for speed and slow our highways for safety!
A straight road on a clear day sounds like driver error, not a dangerous road.
The difference in the roads noted is that there is less room for error.
If we continue to raise our kids with the misconception that there are guarantees in life and there will always be a safety net, then it does not matter how much money we spend to improve highway safety. We would be better off putting everyone in a foam rubber suit and a crash helmet.
