cars are safer now than they’ve ever been for both drivers and pedestrians

Cars don’t need to be going high speeds to be dangerous to pedestrians. Roads near pedestrians can be designed poorly allowing drivers to go significantly faster than the intended limits.

I don’t think the average human has enough mass to meaniningfully use a crumplezone. The trend of higher bumper heights causes more head an chest injuries than lower bumper heights. Higher bumper heights also increase the chances of being run over.

The average car is also much heavier these days and simple math means that car will have more force on impact at the same speed compared to a lighter car.

If cars are safer for pedestrians than ever, then why are pedestrian deaths increasing?

The limit should be the enforceable and safe speed for the road, the road design should reflect the desired speedlimit.

My area recently built highway bypasses around town. One section is built exactly like a freeway but they slapped a 60 km/h sign on it. Nobody does 60 km/h because the road feels like, and is designed for, 100 km/h. This is the wrong way to do it. If a road is a 60 km/h zone, the lanes should be more narrow and the banking on the turns should not allow average drivers to feel safe at 120 km/h.

Canada is already set to implement a 100% tarrif while claiming it wants people to switch to EVs. Why are we making affordable EVs unaffordable if we want average people to make the change?

How many of those sirens are responding to a car related accident?I would assume a signifcant amount. They may also be able to use their sirens less if streets were less congetsed. I’m also much more forgiving hearing a siren responding to an emergency than hearing a modfiied honda fart all the way to McDonalds.

Not doing anything about car noise pollution just because sirens and helicopters still exist is a poor solution.

No no, one apartment building and the rest of the island is a surface level parking lot because an underground lot was too expensive.

I’ve always understood it as going both ways. Someone you call your own, they also get to have you as their own. I’m all yours, and you’re all mine. I’ve viewed it as a way of expressing desire and commitment.

Weed isn’t illegal in my country. It is also unsafe for them and others to be driving so unsafely and there is no other service that can intervene with them.

I see many motorcyclists doing this but it is not the majority of riders. I’ve started reporting dangerous driving, aggressive driving, dangerous passes, and high speed drivers to police. On major or regional highways it is often effective as I’ll pass them pulled over later, results in towns/cities are less reliable due to traffic and more route options.

For the bikers I consider it a favour to them, one I called in was practically asking to get flattened by a semi truck, riding the line while tailgating people waiting to pass. Even if they don’t hit anything their erratic driving could cause another driver to panic, swerve, or brake and could cause an accident.
