yes that completely explains the spike in pedestrians getting hit by cars. That's some PhD level analysis.

There are more deaths on evehicles because there are more evechicles. There is zero evidence it's due to their 'disregard for the law.' Condering there have been more pedestrian fatalities through Oct this year than in 2017 and 2018 and a massive increase in hit and run fatalities...evidence points to drivers disregarding the law at higher rates since the number of drivers is up to prepandemic levels.

It's not a disregard for traffic rules, it's a financial obligation to get everywhere as quickly as possible to make a living wage.

....... and in doing so ignoring traffic laws, I don't understand how one cancels out the other.

Because they have no choice, it's not their fault it's the fault of the companies.

They absolutely have a choice are you insane? My job asked that I commit crimes is not a defense.

They barely make a living wage and you want them to cut that down even more?
binghamtonswag t1_iv1ofq7 wrote
Yes? I don[t want them doing dangerous acts that could result in felony's where others could loose life and limb. I don't think that's controversial.

Then you have to change how they are paid, their job requires them to do this.

No they need to find another job and eventually the economy would catch up. You can't absolve people of personal responsibility for engaging in felonies that result in serious injury or death.
