Horrific. Very fortunate that there weren't any fatalities.

Can't wait to hear the excuse explaining this one.

Yes, don't get me wrong. I want to see fewer cars and less car dependency, with harsh penalties for those who drive negligently.

I think that drivers of all ages are dangerous, but mostly younger people who tend to be more distracted, less skilled, and over confident of their driving abilities.

I think that any driving infraction, even something as "minor" as speeding, should require a retest at the driver's expense.

With accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians, it seems that drivers are always let off the hook too easily. We need to do better and reform all aspects of motor vehicle transportation.
