Wow, 6k or 15% of deaths is not worth doing anything about... This is peak car-brain thinking.

Pedestrians are the ones who should be the first to reach zero deaths IMO, since they weren't the ones who decided to drive around in a deadly machine in the first place and are usually completely innocent in their own danger.

What are your thoughts on pedestrian vs. train deaths? Obviously it is always the conductors fault and peak train-brain thinking?

Commuting on a scooter I've seen more than my fair share of pedestrians on phones walking out into traffic and idiots on bikes blowing through red lights. Sometimes everyone involved can be at fault.

It's not even really their fault in those situations though, they're not walking faster than 3-4MPH. You're the guy driving a two thousand pound hunk of steel, not paying attention.

2k of those 6k pedestrian deaths had alcohol in their system. Surely a train is a safer place for them.
