Cars are the new guns in America. 🫢
How many pedestrians and cyclists must die in order for us to take car licensing requirements more seriously?
It doesn’t matter. The corner stone of America is violence.
You make a fine point. If they can’t get their act together to prevent school shootings, expecting them to protect vulnerable road users is probably unrealistic.
Just taking Rick, my pet brick, out for a walk.
The driving license should be conditional on an annual psychological examination.
A car is literally a weapon
I watched a lady behind me lock up her brakes and almost skid into the ditch today. Of course she was on the phone… so many idiots on the road.
It’s a shitty situation because at the same time public transportation is absolutely fucking hot garbage outside of a few large cities. Some sort of regulation needs to happen though
Some of the blame here lies with media depictions of cyclists as arrogant, inconsiderate, etc. But those lies would never stick if it weren’t for the shoddy infrastructure that puts cyclists and cars in the same spaces when they should be kept separate.
It’s literally not possible to ride my bike home from work without going through traffic on one of the busiest streets. They force us into the car traffic and then portray us as getting in the way. It’s infuriating
