“If drivers choose to drive too fast down my street, I want them to know for a fact that the slightest miscalculation will leave them with a sheared-off side mirror at minimum, because the lane is narrow and lined with bollards or at least parked cars. If they rush too fast into an intersection, I want them to know for a fact that they will scrape their undercarriage on a raised crosswalk and shudder at the prospect of a trip to the mechanic. Someday soon, I hope drivers will know that if they get behind the wheel drunk, stoned, or so tired they can't keep their eyes open, their cars will simply not start and they will have to take the bus.”
