Do you know, there are countries where car crashes are investigated like the NTSB investigates plane crashes? They figure out what happened and how to avoid it happening again, and then they fix it.
Around the Eureka area I think most of the accidents are caused by people not paying attention to their driving habits and I would call them “rolling idiots.” You can’t fix stupid!
