Most important, we need urban leadership that is prepared to hold drivers accountable, leadership that is willing to look these dangerous sociopaths squarely in the eye and say to them: you are the problem.
Shanghai has this utopian (dystopian) system of speed limits (30kph on most roads) and traffic cameras everywhere.
Nobody cares!
Violations will soon be linked to your social credit score.
Be careful what you wish for, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
