Some industries seem to be bulletproof.

Or even just the general mindset of people.
I've seen so many comments here and in other places about the attitude that running stop signs is OK if "its almost always safe" or some such nonsense. Its a stop sign. Stop. That's it. In bike terms, an Idaho stop is one thing, but running it at 80% of full speed is entirely different.
Seriously, the industry might have its own issues, but the population at large is more at fault, in my opinion.
Throw the book at the driver, and actually start ticketing the morons that run stop signs, urban, rural, whatever.
