I decided to learn a little more about Ides and the first Google result worth clicking also had an interesting article about boomstick safety, which shared this quote:

Automobiles are a big public-health problem. Yet they are not going to be banned or even tightly controlled any time soon. What the US and other countries do instead is work to make them less deadly. This has been a slow process, but since 1921 it has reduced the death rate per mile driven by 95 percent.

I do not know how many people drove even twelve or fifteen thousand miles a year back then, but it interested me how much worse it was, and I am curious if any further progress will be made in the next four years. I would like an update!
