Oh wow. One event! Definitely clearly we don't have a road full of people who were teens who halfassed their license in big vehicles they likely should have more license to handle.

But you know. We currently dont have a federal standards for regular class C i am sure we can definitely just get smaller cars made, that'll fix underqualified drivers.

You tell me a story of a driver who doesn't pay attention to the number of people who enter and leave the walkways and the car is the issue?
