My computer fans, out of nowhere: brrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRGRGRGRGGRGGRRRGGRRRRR
Me, resting a calming hand on it: woah there! easy does it.
Me, turning to the task manager: something's got the old girl real spooked. check the tabs. remember, this is firefox country.
In 2022, cars killed 7,508 pedestrians, the equivalent of 18 fully-loaded Boeing 747s crashing with zero survivors. That means a pedestrian died roughly every 70 minutes, with no breaks in the tide of fatalities for weekends or holidays. This flood of death is recent: American roads were demonstrably safer to walk on just a decade ago, with thousands fewer pedestrian deaths.
Experts are unanimous in their assessment of the situation: this is a disaster.
For Motor1.com: Pedestrian deaths are an emergency. We need to start acting like it.
