Annotation | Chosen from stories submitted by forty-seven schools plus one by [Anthony] Phillip Mann, who selected the ones published. Although individually none of these mostly very short pieces have enough detail to warrant inclusion, collectively they provide glimpses of both eutopias and dystopias concerned with road safety. Two approaches dominate, technological solutions that take control away from drivers and harsh punishment, including death, particularly for drunk driving. |
