These are all transportation related issues that occurred under Pete's watch. What has he done about any of it? Well, I think he put on a hard-hat one day and walked around. That took some effort, right? Hard-hats are very uncomfortable to wear, so we should give him credit for that.

 BF>    Also, can you explain what laws Pete has enacted that are causing the
 BF> alleged increase in "wrecks?"

Pete's not a lawmaker. He's responsible for transportation safety. He can make a suggestion to congress or to the president to make a law to help with safety, but he's too busy doing the hard-hat thing.
