Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / August 2007SURPRISE - Minneapolis in effect has a 7 death bridge collapse EVERY WEEK
The metro area has a liitle over 3 million people which is 1% of america's population and since america has around 800 highway deaths every week that means minneapolis must have 8 or so. And the city could easily put a stop to these murders by cracking down on highway criminals such as speeders and DUIs. And unlike upgrading bridges, it wouldn't cost a thing. But people are psychopaths and say hell with it.

Not only that, but cities would continue to lower speed limits to ridiculous results as their revenues dried up. Therefore, we'll always have "criminal" speeders. How do you stop people from speeding and drinking under the influence of alcohol or drugs? How do you do that without spending any money? > The metro area has a liitle over 3 million people which is 1% of america's > population and since america has around 800 highway deaths every week that > means minneapolis must have 8 or so.

But people are psychopaths and say hell with it. Hi, I like you, and I'll tell you why. Your heart's in the right place! So it would out of place to logically debate the arguments you've made, when your intent is to protect the life of a would-be (innocent) victim from an inebriated driver. Be that as it may, there is a correlation between increased police-coverage on the road, and the subsequent decrease in drunk-driving accidents. Many drunk-driving accidents can lead to death. Based on these merits, it may further contribute to the protection of innocent life by pulling officers off the Main Street patrols, who in other words would be capriciously assigning parking tickets to increase city revenue, and onto high-volume roads to find suspected drunk motorists. One life saved is one death avoided. This holds true in Minneapolis, Calgary, Graz, or Ulan Bator. It doesn't matter where you are. Putting this all into consideration, let me know if I ever pass through your region! We could head to the local pub and grab a couple litres of Spaten. A designated driver would be assigned to each of us afterwards, of course.

When police have high profile crackdowns, highway deaths go down.

But people are > psychopaths and say hell with it. I've long believed we should treat DUI deaths as murders. As far as I'm concerned if you get behind the wheel of a car drunk, you have intent to kill.

Fortunately for both the legal system and the English language, your concerns haven't been made law just yet. SignatureThere's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one.

But people are psychopaths and say hell with it. In no way does that support the statement that: " Minneapolis in effect has a 7 death bridge collapse EVERY WEEK". Go restart your math schooling and let me know when you finish basic statistics. Good gawd..... |
