I feel like I’ve seen an uptick in articles posted here that are covering cyclists or pedestrians getting killed in car crashes. I understand that this community is centered around our hatred for cars but seeing a constant feed of deaths by cars isn’t really what I want. I would prefer memes, discussions on how to improve things, and articles about policy etc instead of an endless stream of daily deaths.
How do you feel about these posts?
They certainly make me say ‘fuck cars!’, although it should probably be more correctly ‘fuck lunatic drivers!’, but you can’t have one without the other.
Personally, I don’t really read past the post title, and don’t click on them or read the news story or comments because the post title makes me angry enough and I don’t really need any more detail, so I scroll on.
It’s not lunatic drivers so much as a lunatic system that forces lunatics to drive.
Yeah, fuck that too. I just don’t understand why everyone has to be so damn impatient on the road, as if it isn’t dangerous enough.
