@nosrednayduj every place is different but in 2012 I participated in a biking study in Chicago, IL where they outfitted us with gps monitoring. The goal was to come up with some practical guidance about bike safety riding in traffic. They found that cyclists who ran stop signs and lights were actually generally safer overall. Folks who tried to obey the car traffic laws had more unexpected stops / accidents at intersections.
They still recommended to follow the traffic law #carculture

She'll come, she'll go
She'll lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky oil
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne she'll wear
Silver and Americard
She'll drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool Canasta(David Bowie - Lady Grinning Soul)

Wow - apparently *none* of the #Gardaí are #pursuit trained to same standards as officers in GB / NI (or other European countries).
How even can a country operate like that?
Folk will be constantly at the mercy of reckless drivers or outright criminals / sociopaths. I have also seen quite a few Irish tooters over the years pointing this out
Sorting this out won't be an easy task - #roads in GB were quite lawless until things got cleaned up starting around late 1990s,. #CarCulture is strong, stubborn and resilient, and older #motorists still resent limitations of their "freedom" and many vote for parties such as Reform / Restore out of spite..

"in 1926, a group of highway officials named the brand-new Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway" and a legend was born!

A Lamborghini spotted in Italy is being talked about with a rumored $117M valuation, and the reaction says everything about modern car culture: half awe, half disbelief.
Would you call this engineering, art, or excess?

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)

@neuimneuland @RolandRides Der Spin „Auto fuhr einfach“ ist auch mal wieder 🤢. Also, vielleicht, unter Umständen — die Presse sagt dazu ja nichts, aber plausibel ist's schon — gab es ja eine PERSON, die gegebenenfalls an der Tatsache, dass das Auto gefahren ist, nicht gänzlich unschuldig ist, weil sie — jetzt mal rein hypothetisch — zum Beispiel DAS GASPEDAL GETRETEN HAT …!!

I pass this property on Guelph Street often. Until a few years ago, that shitty stretch of lawn used to be a big cluster of juniper, bearberry, and milkweed. It was necessary food and habitat for monarch butterflies and other critters. Now it is a food desert for pollinators.
And that sign they have along the sidewalk is the meanest, most selfish sign I've ever seen directed to pedestrians. It shows they really don't give a shit about children and pedestrians.
And that last sentence about "these lands" is pretty fucking awful. These lands are on the Haldimand Tract. They're occupied, stolen lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg. These lands are under the Dish With One Spoon wampum, and this sign shows the people who currently "own" this property have no intention of honouring that treaty.
