Few people have learned in the 100 years since the car has been around in any numbers!
This shit has happened everywhere, all the time ever since there were two cars on the road at the same time.
The big difference now is people are more aware of it (thanks a lot F&F) and the cars are much more powerful at an earlier entry level.
On the plus side newer cars have a passenger crash survivability rate that surpasses the older ones by many, many times.
There was a day when a 20mph crash would likely be fatal and even as far as into the early 80s a 50mph crash would be more likely to be deadly then now.
Soooo the moral of the story is ... there has always been and there will always be, dumbasses ripping around the streets and sometimes they will die horrifically!
