There’s really nothing you morons won’t come up with to justify going as fast as you want to.
Yeah yeah, I get it, you only want to „break car dependency“, sure. So what exactly does cutting down speed cameras do to „break car dependency“? Oh right, nothing.
Oh, I can assure you that driving manual doesn’t keep people from dabbling with their phones… If anything, it makes it more dangerous, since… well you’ve only got two hands, right.
And automatic is becoming the norm here as well, at least with new cars.
I‘d say it has a variety of reasons. Cars are huge in the US, streets are wide, pedestrian safety is not really a thing, the driving exam is harder and more intensive here, and I feel just… safer.
For example, here I don’t really wait at a zebra crossing, I basically just step on the street and expect the cars to yield because they have to. I would never do that in the US…
Again, which study are you talking about? Neither this here nor the other article under which you also commented mention phones or automatic transmission at all.
What this analysis here does say though, that you’ve got a lot of DUIs with a BAC >0.08. In Europe, the max BAC 0.05 or lower.
Well, that’s not a very productive stance, is it? I thought you thought yourself an ally, yet you just criticise everything here as impossible without producing any plans yourself.
So enlighten us, how do you act on your „desire to fight global warming“?
What I also really want to know is, you posted a video from the Google Photos account of Harry Teasley, claiming it shows your dogs. Are you Harry Teasley, or related to him? Or did you just find this video and thought it was fun to impose as him?
First because Europe got the shit bombed out of it
It has little to do with that, actually. There are very few cities that got heavily hit. What was removed and remodelled in the 60s and 70s was way more than the war had damaged and it happened after the major repairs were already done. Even cities and countries the war never really touched got extensive remodelling.
It was a completely deliberate decision to remodel those cities, driven by modernist ideas.
Your comment does nothing but make people angry. It’s not helping anything, and will not change the behavior of anyone. When you insult someone, you only make enemies for yourself, and that’s nothing to be proud of.
Take some time and think about what you write and how it can realistically affect the world. Would you not rather make a positive contribution, and improve social media?
No, that is, in fact, a podcast by the New York Times. You do understand you can click on these things called links and then you’ll land on another page?
I was listening to a breakdown of this study on a New York Times podcast. It has to do with huge cultural differences between how Europeans and Americans interact with smartphones in cars
Funny thing, someone posted this Podcast, and there’s absolutely no mention at all about this: lemmy.ml/post/10124633
