This book demands each of us look in the mirror and get real before
we get behind the wheel. When fragile human bodies have to occupy
the same spaces as big, heavy, complex machines that can travel at
high speeds, the outcome is inevitable. Some people will die. So
why do we identify with the driver in the car rather than the
person they have killed? Would you still shrug and chalk it up to
random bad luck if that dead person was someone you loved? Using
the comic book format, this book vehemently dispels the notion that
traffic accidents are inevitable and/or acceptable on any level,
insisting that drivers own their responsibility, and consider the
consequences of careless and dangerous behavior. It is part thought
experiment, part testimonial, and part indictment of a
dysfunctional transit environment that puts convenience for drivers
ahead of logic, natural resources, and even ahead of human life.
Crash Course questions the decisions that shape all our lives. Why
don't roads serve everyone who needs to use them? What makes some
people not worth protecting? Where do we start in fixing a broken
system that facilitates the use of vehicles as murder weapons in
places like Charlottesville, VA?
