I was rather amazed to read that headline in the Toronto Sun, quoting City Councillor Michael Thompson of Scarborough (a pretty car-friendly and cyclist-hostile place, infrastructure-wise) about the causes of the horrific crash of a big truck last week that killed a wife and mother instantly:It's the drivers who use the intersection where a 39-year-old mother was killed Wednesday who are the problem, not the design, the city councillor for the area said yesterday.
"It's people being inattentive," Councillor Michael Thompson said yesterday at the scene.
"It seems to me that very intelligent people get into the cars and it dumbs them down."
