A 60-year-old woman sits across from me on the O-Train, letting out a big sigh of relief. She apologizes: “Sorry! I’m a driver, so it’s nice when you sit down after walking a bit. It’s hard when you’re used to driving yourself around, you know.” I was impressed – few people make that connection.

Mon fils de 11 ans s'arrête soudainement, de peur que l'auto ne nous cède pas le passage. Je lui rappelle la fois où une conductrice a continué sa route alors qu'on était engagés sur le passage piéton devant l'école. Lui : "C'est pour ça qu'il ne faut pas avoir de voiture, ça rend bête."

Who’s really to blame—and who isn’t—for America’s traffic death epidemic
Politicians love to say that ‘road safety is a shared responsibility,’ but the reality is that some groups have a much larger duty than others.
