What we need is a law against being stupid. There have always been some stupid people, but now that most parents simply hand their kids (especially boys) an electronic device and let them raise themselves, we are seeing more and more people who do not understand that red lights matter and getting hit by a car really hurts.

In my city people can rent electric scooters. They look like the kind you push with your foot, but they can go at a good clip. Recently we saw a woman about 30 years old riding on our street, minus the required helmet, going fast, with ear phones on and looking at her phone. She was wearing pale clothes to make sure no driver crossing her path would notice her.
