We should also blame car manufacturers. Why are cars built to accelerate to 100 in a few seconds from standstill? If you’re parked (and the car can know the difference between being parked and a traffic light), why is acceleration not restricted? There is no reason for being able to accelerate like that in a parking space. You should get a much slower acceleration by default and car manufacturers could put that in their cars right now.
You could also use that argument against emergency braking systems and airbags. If there is a string of accidents, you should search for a solution to prevent them. Just blaming people does nothing
Isn’t this precisely the “personal responsibility” argument called out in the video? Looking for someone to blame instead of putting that aside and looking for ways to simply making accidents less likely to happen?

Or people could actually learn how to drive, then pay attention while driving, or they have their driving privileges revoked…
