Implicitly you appear to be saying that we need to reach that point before action is taken?

For the UK it is a problem that many of our roads were built for a horse and cart. People like the aesthetics of these narrow, hedge-lined roads, so they won't change. An F150 or Ram is a very large vehicle to be putting down these roads.

As the article states, US pedestrian deaths are UP 80% since 2010, while EU deaths are DOWN.

You can’t probably blame 100% of that difference on the design standards of US vehicles. But probably a high proportion of them!
