You already say that in japan there were loads of accidents, is the cost
of human life cheaper than a bit more design work on cars??
Think also of the cost of re-routing roads and new signs! compared to
paying a bit extra for a car that's peanuts!!

We (hopefully) aren't going to throw away thousands of years of history
away on a whim. I'd rather have a monarch than a B rate actor, peanut
farmer or whatever other shysters can become the alternative!!
The U.S has lax gun laws and a high murder rate, do you recommend us
conforming to that as well?
