Safety on modern cars is taken pretty seriously by regulators, but not by law enforcement.<p>If you kill somebody when you&#x27;re behind the wheel, and you were sober?<p>You&#x27;ll usually get dinged with &quot;failure to yield&quot;, which basically means &quot;there was an accident and it was your fault because your car was where it was when it had no right to be&quot;.  Like turning when the intersection isn&#x27;t clear or something.<p>That comes with a $500 fine.  A $500 for taking a life by negligence.<p>Yeah, besides airbags and seat-belts, we collectively don&#x27;t give a crap about vehicular safety.
