Driving responsibly is important, but I can't help feel that a lot of fatalities could have been prevented were it not for all the god damn CRAP they stick in the sides of roads!
Light poles, telephone poles, barriers, ditches. Public roads are built so dangerously. There is NO margin for error, if some poor soul slides out because of ice or rain he's going to damn well die because he hit a pole. Why the hell can't they pass new laws requiring anything on the sides of roads to be break-away or spaced well back. We need to take cues from race-courses. It's not only to protect the idiots, but the innocents who end up getting caught along with them.
Putting freaking steel poles on corners is just asking for someone to slam into it. You lose control, you die.
