This line from the patch caught my eye:
\n-> "John Kuo, administrator of the Motor Vehicle Administration,_ said he feels sympathy for Krasnopoler’s family, but said he feels the state is taking adequate steps to ensure its drivers are safe."
\nOne thing I learned at my time as your representative on BRTB-BPAG is that "What gets measured gets done."

\nThe state does not measure our average motor vehicle crash rate which Baltimore has come out really bad by a report from Allstate.

\nWhat it does measure is something that would make a whole lot of sense if we were a state of traveling salesmen with expanding territories. That is to say the miles driven between crashes is going up. Of course they don’t state it that way but my way is just as valid as their way.
\nThe jest of what this comes down to is while other states are making progress on reducing vulnerable road user fatalities but in Maryland it is getting worse or at best no significant change.
\nAnd since they don’t report this they do not see this as an important issue.
\nThis needs to change!
