Deaths on the roads have been declining because of the years of focus on safety improvements. Those numbers show that these efforts are working.

We should certainly keep an eye on the features and have productive dialogue about it. But denying safety concerns seems to be a fairly egregious twisting of the facts.

dont be too hasty to jump from correlation to causation. the numbers were declining before politicians did anything about road safety.

Please define which ranges of dates you are talking about. The first time politician worried about road safety enough to pass a law was in 1903. Are you claiming that number were declining before 1903? Or are you referring to larger scale efforts, like national road safety acts in the USA? That would be 1966 (which is the exact date the current downward trend began, FWIW). Or do you have another time range in mind for "before politicians did anything about road safety."
