"More than half of Helsinki’s streets now have speed limits of 30 km/h."

This is the only secret.

People over speeding is what kills.

Whatever happened to the person choosing to operate dangerous machinery being the one responsible for it? Putting the onus of safety on everyone else is incredibly selfish and of course illogical.

Oh, and I'll be sure to tell my blind friend to look both ways before crossing.

If you can't see how the laws of physics work, then I have no interest in talking to you.

Blind people have their own accommodations, so they're irrelevant to this stupid argument.
