    Globally: Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.

    It might be just a general election, but still, it was called because Theresa May wants a larger support from the Parliament for her Brexit plans. If she doesn't get it it will have long-term repercussions, so these elections might end up having a much bigger impact than usual.

    Globally: Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.

    In order for driverless cars to curb crashes they will have to be implemented everywhere and people shouldn't have access to actually taking control manually, but I am not sure how the general public will be convinced to give up such control.

    I've never been an avid smoker - I smoked like one pack per week, but still, once I stopped I felt infinitely better. I wish I hadn't started at all.
