Default Everything we know about traffic-calming is wrong

... because people driving in a vulnerable vehicle would drive more
safely? That idea didn't seem to work before seat belts were invented,
when occupants used to die by being ejected through the windscreen.

"more safely" not "safely". The introduction of seat belts didn't result in
less accidents, just people driving a little more carelessly.
