I wasn't at all suggesting it would be feasible to do something different here, I just find the massive difference in attitude interesting.

It's the same thing with the autobahn in Germany. No speed limit is ludicrous. I don't think there is any arguing that you aren't at higher risk with people doing 250km/h in the adjacent lane.

On the other hand... some of the crazy measures that are now "normal" for child safety seem like we waste a lot of time protecting the 0.00001% case of infant danger instead of the 0.1% stuff.

I can already tell that when the time comes I'm going to find it all confusing as hell.
