Stats

This is why I want a society without cars.

In particular - this:

TEN LEADING CAUSES OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH, MID-1990s

CAUSE

(1) Motor Vehicles
(2) Falls
(3) Drowning (Nontransport)
(4) Fires & Flames
(5) Poisoning, Solids & Liquids
(6) Medical Misadventures
(7) Firearms
(8) Natural & Environmental
(9) Water Transport
(10) Machinery, Cutting & Piercing


I realize that this is not what everyone wants, and for those who want to live in cities with cars, I am not asking you to abandon your vehicle. I simply think that the benefits of a car-free society would outweigh the disadvantages. If you still want to go on a road trip, rental agencies on the edge of town might be a possibility, but I think that with my compact city design, cars need not be a necessity.

I mean, look at what happens in Russia:
Russian Drivers
