See you there! #SwapMeet #CarShow #AutoParts #CarCulture

Not many people come out smelling of roses here - not #Police who didn't check the identities of casualties correctly, nor the lass who was #driving way too fast for the conditions without even a full #licence, or two lads who were following behind the vehicle which crashed and narrowly escaped being charged for encouraging street #racing

Folk in #Yorkshire really need to sort out what is going on with #CarCulture or else they are going keep losing young people this way (ironically its very likely the misidentification happened because the youths in the car were middle class and not previously known to Police!)

Also a warning on how easy it was for Police to get #surveillance info from some #Life360 app on one persons mobile.

I Never Became a Mechanic. But I Never Stopped Loving Cars.

Negative effects of #CarCulture in the #Midlands (the #Detroit of #Britain in more ways than one) go a lot deeper - a middle aged man (older than me!) is serving a long stretch (7-8 years+) for the fatal #collision at the #CarMeet, but looking at full video on ITV Central (I didn't link it as you need to fiddle with adblockers to watch it), bereaved parents turned up to see the offenders car crushed in an modified Overfinch LandRover - its likely they also fuelled/enabled their son's interest in #cars which led to him turning up at the ill-fated meet

Surely the old bill should have stomped on these meets a lot sooner, but its likely the Roads Policing Unit is simply overwhelmed there as many offenders don't attract much other attention from Police)

Speed limiters on vehicles could save thousands of lives every year. Would you accept one on your vehicle? I would.

If you drive faster on freeways you drive faster on local streets, with all that implies for traffic impacts (using that word deliberately and literally): My TL;dr on study from AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Auto ads sell a mythical world of open roads and all the speed the vehicle can produce. But we don't allow cigarette ads any more because we know smoking causes cancer. We know speed causes death on impact. Is it (past) time to regulate auto ads?

Can we please start building more human-centred cities in North America?

(Continuing)
Me to all of you: What do you do and say in these scenarios? Meaning ones in which people laugh at the idea of following the law and driving carefully so as not to kill others, and you really want them to think, not push back or retreat. #SafetyOverSpeed #RoadSafety #WordsMatter #transportation #CarCulture #psychology

(Continuing]
Me [inside voice]: When did it become okay to laugh at the implied violence of hitting someone with your vehicle because you wouldn't slow down when it's unsafe to drive that fast?
Me [rethinking what I said]: I needed to appeal to positive traffic safety culture, maybe point out that most people think of themselves as "good drivers" and wouldn't want to drive in a way that might kill someone.
