Unlike Canada, Denmark and the rest of the European Union have very strict vehicle third-party safety standards for all road vehicles. Third-party safety standards are designed to mitigate damage to third parties such as cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles. Canada has none of these requirements, and no national vehicle safety inspection regime to ensure all road vehicles are safe. It is nice to say that we should emulate Denmark, but we have a very, very long way to go, requiring a complete change of mentality regarding transportation. That will never happen here.
