Banning does not stop the banned activity or commodity.
That is a fact illustrated repeatedly over the course of history.
These road crash statistics just provide more evidence.
Some will say, well at least they improved. But the smallish improvement was in the period directly after the legislation was introduced - typically when the effect is strongest.
Some people are stupid. That is also a fact. More people become stupid when a herd mentality is the norm and when the real consequences of stupid behaviour are minimised by collective responsibility.
