    I never understood the “Slow Children” warning sign. It’s the fast ones you have to be concerned about. The fast ones will run out in front of you before you have a chance to react.

      I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but “slow” here means you slow down

    Who will buy a car as big as it? I mean, it will cost you a ton of money in fuel and finding a spot to park it will be complicated at minimun.

      That GMC vehicle probably would be classified a truck outside USA/Canada/Australia. Thus requiring a license of a type mostly only pro drivers would have. Not that that fixes everything but would reduce risk (statistically).

        Not sure about that.

        In Europe you can drive trucks up to 3.5 T with a car license.

        Taxes might reduces ownership tho.

            Perhaps you make a point there. However, the discussion was more on traffic safety (and slightly about drivers with small members). So I do not know why you brought that up.

      I’m in my 30’s and just about to get my license and first car. I’m having sticker shock as I start to calculate out how much it will cost me. Hopefully I can switch over to car sharing services as said car reaches the end of its lifetime. Most of my trips can be made by bike or transit, and for a small fraction of the price.

    It’s more humane if they die on impact rather than from inner bleeding in the hospital.

      Trains are not part of traffic.

          The child standing in the blind spots of a SUV is the typical way for parents to accidentally kill their or their neighbors children
