'very
serious injuries.'

This shows the sheer destructive force of motorised transport.

There was no need to use the van. The postal worker should have been
carrying the 250 kg of parcels using a pushbike.

How did I do Doug?

Nearly there, what you have to ask yourself is, were all these
letters/ parcels needed, could the people who sent them have used
other means, video conferencing for example.

I send quite a few parcels. I'd like to know how to do this via video
conferencing though.

Probably would involve a complete lifestyle change, including giving
up the car, but you would still need deliveries of goods. Maybe all
drivers need more training and testing to minimise the serious risks
they cause to life and limb of others.
