Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book demands each of us look in the mirror and get real before we get behind the wheel. When fragile human bodies have to occupy the same spaces as big, heavy, complex machines that can travel at high speeds, the outcome is inevitable. Some people will die.

Where do we start in fixing a broken system that facilitates the use of vehicles as murder weapons in places like Charlottesville, VA.…
