Now, can you explain to us, how is removing the „administrative control“ – the one that the people living there literally campaigned for – without implementing any of the other steps „doing the right thing“?
You’re the kind of person who takes away the workers‘ masks saying „What they really really need is better air conditioning! I’m very intelligent!“
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.
Nothing says „against mass surveillance“ and „kick big brother‘s ass“ and „fuck the machine“ like… putting people’s phone number on their driver’s licence…
oblivious drivers will be going too fast in that stretch of road for weeks
I’m not sure, it’s been a free months since I was in the UK, but I think I remember them having these signs with numbers painted on them next to the road? Maybe just look out for those?
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…
Can’t say for pedestrians specifically, but the variance of general traffic fatalities in the US is huge, and the average is way higher than the EUs: personalinjurysandiego.org/…/most-and-least-traff…
For reference, Mississippi does worse than Afghanistan, New York is comparable with the EU.
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?
If you’ve given up „left wing“ politics because of a few things people have said on the internet, I have news for you: You never were left wing to begin with. Also, you’re an idiot.
And I’ll tell you right back that people don’t care about your list here.
You != People
“yaytransit” is far more positive and forward thinking than “fuckcars”.
Huh, it’s almost like there is room for more than one community and angle to achieve things.
Do you know what brought change to the Netherlands, which was an extremely car centric country once? Riots. Pure and simple „fuck this shit“ riots in the streets.
how deluded this community is.
Sure, everyone who disagrees with you is „deluded“.
So I guess consider that more a failing on my part.

It’s insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.
