Incoming rant/tirade:
This sort of thing really pisses me off. If you've ever driven in the U.S. you know how bad drivers really can be. They have the largest, widest roads with some of the best enforcement of traffic laws and yet they treat these ton-heavy machinery like a toy. Electronic driver aids that only add to the incompetence of drivers (yet assume the responsibility of "safety" in tests) only give these drivers a further false sense of security thereby actively adding to the problem (of inattentive driving). I also take issue with pedestrian safety standards. The laws of physics dictate that a massive piece of metal will pretty surely hurt the meatbag that is a human body. The laws of nature dictate that if you want to survive, you don't pick fights with things bigger than yourself. Combine these two real-world realities and basically we're trying to break common sense with pedestrian safety standards. It has come to the point where hood lines are so high (to protect precious skulls from breaking) that you can't see out of the damn car and see the pedestrians in the first place. By my obviously flawless logic, I also take issue with traffic laws that prioritize pedestrians over vehicles when road accidents are involved. In Turkey, for example, if you hit a pedestrian (doesn't matter if it's a crosswalk or not, or if they had a green light to cross at the crosswalk), the traffic law assigns 40% fault right off the bat. This includes dingbats who try to cross 6 lane motorways rather than using the underpass or overpass.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming of everything Panda.
