>"One reason might be a culture of toxic individualism that reduces almost any systemic problem, from sexual harassment to health care, to so-called isolated incidents. In the context of cars, we tend not to blame public infrastructure, but individual drivers, says Steve Davis, an assistant vice president of transportation strategy at Smart Growth America, an advocacy group for safe communities."

Toxic individualism? Yes, I often do blame individual drivers. I blame those who text and drive, the lead-foots, the people who don't use their turn signals, et cetera. There are certainly poorly designed roadways and interchanges but let's not pretend the vast majority of our roads are literal deathtraps.

>“It’s usually not reckless driving that causes accidents,” Davis says, “but everyday driving that we all do.”

Citation needed, big time. Pretty sure a lot of "everyday driving" can be categorized as "reckless". The insinuation is that driving at all is dangerous.
