It is not very recent but I saw this article posted on federated BS feed from @TheWarOnCars :

"A meta-study of existing safety research earlier this year found that if an adult pedestrian was struck by an SUV, they were 44% more likely to be killed than if the vehicle was a smaller car. This rose to 82% higher for children."

With pictures of a major driver of climate change, total cognitive dissonance...

@Ente_Bullitt @GegenAutogewalt Vielen Dank für Dein Engagement! - Wir wissen doch, dass wir alle derart von #motonormativity geprägt sind, dass viele #Autogewalt weder erkennen noch erkennen wollen. Unsere Petition soll den Opfern eine Stimme geben, damit sich etwas ändert!

A happy, explorative trip in the sun! 🌞 🌼

(Only interrupted every 40m by a high-risk, life-or-death situation, where anytime an #SUV could have exited and crushed her. 🤷 )

@irgendlink @Azetbur vielen Dank! Wir haben es bei unserer Dresdner Lokalpresse erst gar nicht versucht. Wir kennen doch deren #motonormativity-Berichterstattung. Für die ist das keine Nachricht. Aber wenn lokal was passiert, könnte man Stellungnahme als AdFc / VCD dazu mit Hinweis auf die Petition verbinden.

@kim_harding Unfortunately, another aspect of #Motonormativity

I was invited by Pro Velo CH to give a talk on #motonormativity and how our vision of mobility is influenced by automobility:
1️⃣ The car at the top of the transport hierarchy
2️⃣ Criticism of the car discredited
3️⃣ Other modes of transport marginalised
4️⃣ Negative effects of cars downplayed or concealed

Thanks for the invitation and the discussion!

#Velowende #TournantVelo was well presented as Ursula Wyss spoke about bikelash!

Went back home by bike, notably on cycle path on a dyke (almost Dutch!)

An important thread on #motonormativity, #CarCulture, and the need for 'hard measures' to tackle the negative impact of SUVs and cars more generaly on our streets.

Es ist kein Zufall, wenn “Autos“ mit Fußgängern „kollidieren“, „Verkehr“ nur Autos meint oder die alltägliche Ermordung von Radfahrerinnen oder Fußgängern als normales LebensRisiko akzeptiert wird. Es sind die sprachideologischen Auswüchse einer zutiefst asozialen und gewalttätigen Gesellschaft. #Autogewalt #carbrain #motonormativity

@Olap We could connect every town & village in Scotland with cycle routes as well as connected cycle routes within cities. These would transform our country. Dual the A9? A few folk get to Inverness 10 minutes faster. Priorities. #motonormativity #cycling

@Olap Just think, with £2bn we could just create a joined up network of cycling infrastructure across the whole the whole of #Scotland, leading to reduced pollution, a better/quicker environment & a happier/healthier population. What do get? Same-old, same-old #motonormative solutions for yesterday's World. #motonormativity

"by systematically valuing drivers' time ahead of non-drivers' time, and by placing the burden of waiting onto the non-driver by default, we are surely encouraging more people into cars for more trips"

"A man crashed his car into a wall, knocking it onto the rail line and shutting it for five hours. He disappeared during that time and attacked police after a manhunt. "

"has been allowed to keep his licence so he won't lose his job at the National Grid."

Talk about #motonormativity. Get him banned😡. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/26151069.speeding-bolton-man-knocked-alexandria-wall-onto-rail-line/

Unfähig das Problem zu erkennen und es zu benennen.
Die Brücke ist sicher nicht Schuld. Es sind die vielen Autos. Das kann man auch so benennen.

Klar, Radfahren ist ja kein Verkehr #carbrain #autogewalt #motonormativity
