Lots of people die in all sorts of crazy ass ways. It's unfortunate, but we aren't going to end it by hurling money and laws at our lives.

It still comes down to money. Because if they threw more money at road repair, they'd have more employees and more time to fix the pot holes instead of letting them get that bad to fuck up a car at normal highway speeds.

Yeah, lots of money. This is just one fucked up death in millions around the world. There are lots of things we could throw money at and prevent a few deaths a year.

And then 20 more highway workers a year would die from DUI drivers.

Or they could have been a contractor that repaired it the quick and dirty way, rather than finding the reason for the failure of that section, because it means they get to fix it again in a year or so.

Especially since motorcyclists are most affected by potholes, right?

I mean, you could save on having to fix the potholes, and still lower the death toll.
