>Cars don’t kill pedestrians; drivers kill pedestrians

Is the world really this absolute to you? Would you mind thinking out your position more carefully or alternatively defending a position that prejudges one group and absolves another of any responsibility?

From my experience discussing personal responsibility in this forum and others is going to get you downvotes.

No one wants to accept the fact they are responsible and they want to blame the system, because of this they don't blame others they blame the system

These people are impacting society in a huge way and its not a good thing.

I am a pedestrian/cyclist (not a driver), and I blame the system. Where do I fit?

It would be great if personal responsibility solved this, but ultimately I would rather be safe from cars than enjoy placing blame on drivers.

Safest way for a cyclist is to not drive where cars are. Motorcycles suffer the same fate (worse actually)
