There are benefits to society of having a modern road based transport system not least of which are employment, wealth, distribution of goods, mobility of the population etc.
Of course. I don't recall saying otherwise.
The 'value' of these benefits needs to be offset against the 'cost' of providing the 'service'. One of the 'costs' is the people that need scraping up. I.e. your made up £1m per body 'stat'.
**** me! So you are actually saying that if the financial costs of deaths and injuries is less than the profit then it's all okay?
Jeeeebus, I'm not sure I have an answer for that one!
In what other UK industry would it be acceptable to kill or seriously injure 26,912 people in one year, 2,671 of which are children, as long as you turned a decent profit?
