Legal Lampons……
When cars first came to Tennessee, the city of Memphis passed a statute that a woman could drive only if a man walked in front of the car and waved a red flag to warn pedestrians of approaching danger……..
Should they do this in Seattle?………. (How much flack am I going to get over this?)…….

Yeah yeah, I think it’d take more than a flag warning to help us at the speeds modern cars are travelling. Really we need some sort of force shield. Another thought: change the car — see this Pedestrian Protection project. Ah, the thoughts of a comfy, soft hood coming up to meet my heralded body. Almost all the confort of home plus a few broken bones.

Is this “Pedestrian Protection Project” government funded?…. It sure sounds like it….. Instead of making law enforcement agencies do their job with better traffic control, educating the public on traffic safety, and more in-depth testing of drivers, they want to make it where you don’t need to worry about mowing down a pedestrian because your car will safely place them in a prone position on your hood so you can drive them to the hospital without ever getting out of your car……
Super thinking….
