I swear the number of car-brained people who have told me (when discussing a pedestrian or child death in a car):
Well what were they doing in the road???
Why the FUCK does it matter what they were doing in the road. I don’t care where the parents were. I don’t care what they were doing there. There is no excuse, I don’t care if it’s the freaking freeway, if you see someone you stop. But these people can’t even see over their hoods so they have no clue there’s even someone there, so they’ve shifted all blame to the other person. It couldn’t be my fault, it must be there’s!
Fuck I’m so mad at them, and the auto industry is also to blame for promoting that way of thinking. "If you’re in an auto accident, your family will be safe. Just fuck those other people right?)
It’s America’s selfishness, just blatantly on display.
Why Americans always complain about gas prices, then go ahead and choose the most inefficient vehicles?
Like with so many things, especially in the US, it seems to me the people complaining most loudly about it are the ones doing everything they can to make the problem worse for themselves.
Tax by weight
No excuses
No exceptions
Personally, I have to haul heavy loads across the whole country.
You know what would work better for that though?
Trains. High speed electric trains.
I do not like having to pay off this expensive ass truck.
Pedestrians: “can you please make your cars a little safer for us?”
US carmakers:
Never in its 50-plus years in existence has the regulator issued new rules for automakers requiring them to change their vehicle designs to better prevent pedestrian fatalities.
Found the problem
Truck / SUV drivers like : “What pedestrians???”
Why are trucks so popular in the us? What do you guys need to often put in the back?
Nothing. But you never know…
Meanwhile in Europe:
How am I ever going to carry a couch on my bicycle? Haha, silly me. I don’t carry couches. (Or I’d just spend a whooping 80 euros to rent a van for a few hours)
