  1. If you need a traffic light 🚦 – if people need to endure a bureaucrat beating them up with a stick to cross a street – you've made a mistake somewhere.

    Many are made wrong – to prioritise cars – but the people who oppose the fundamental concept of a #pedestrian #bridge or #underpass, are the most anti-pedestrian people ever. They are the #motorist bureaucrats beating you up in every intersection. 🥊

    it's top asshole behaviour.
    his pinned toot is against #racist #victimblaming, but then he jumps right in and does #motorist #victimblaming at some one who's just survived an attack.

    people drivin round in their killer #SUV, going like »oh i'm just a tiny little pedestrian« once they park it — like that 1950s #MotorMania cartoon with Goofy.

    judging from this #motorist bias, it's almost certain he's a car driver:

    > Injuries related to e-bikes spiked 1,022% from 2020 to 2024, and the American College of Surgeons says only one third of injured e-bike riders were wearing helmets.

    if you sit in your chair in your garden and a tiger jumps out and bites you in the face, sure, technically you could call that a chair accident or a garden-related injury.

    that shit is the victim-blamiest way wiping the responsibility for #carviolence onto #cyclists.

  4. A combination of #cocaine , prescription #drugs and most likely sleep deprivation after heavy weekend led to a #motorist in #Hertfordshire rear ending the car in front on the A1M highway and seriously injuring a 6 year old boy as well as endangering his own family (which he was driving home!)

    He got 20 months #prison (even after guilty plea at Crown #Court). Appears to have no previous criminal record, nor any other social media traffic that hints at reckless behaviour, but its *extremely* unlikely a 42 year old man *starts* taking drugs at his age.

    Probably another 90s / 00s hedonist who *thought* he could get away with the old lifestyle choices (until one day it turns out you can't)

  5. @TheWarOnCars I'm actually serious. Do you have any specific ideas about how to address the #motorist onslaught in #ParkSlope? My take here youtube.com/watch?v=eUasEpT4tN Right now it's 69 #AQI, very bad accuweather.com/en/us/park-slo This is now a year-round phenomenon, not just in summer, with poor #airquality every single day #climate #brooklyn #suvs #mamdani #publichealth

  6. @mweiss If I lived in his district, I'd be the lone #Engardio supporter. I live in #leafy #ParkSlope #Brooklyn where I'm being steamrolled by a #motorist minority and my city council member gives me some bureaucratic #jive about how the problem can't be solved, despite the fact that we can't breathe amidst constant poor #airquality. I say long live Engardio and those like him! #climate #SanFrancisco #climatechange

  7. CW: Melbourne cycling

    The joys of #cycling on offroad bikepaths, still not safe from the #marvellous #melbourne #motorist

    With an impressive piece of driving, a motorist heading Sth on Murrumbeena rd mistakes the #DjerringTrail for Neerim rd and attempts the "quick I'll just hook right in here while there's a gap in the oncoming traffic" Big crunch as she drives into the kerb, looks up, sees me, frantically flaps hands about mouthing "sorry/shit", pulls back out and tears off down the wrong side of Murrumbeena rd past stopped cars to the lights, then into the intersection and pulls in front of the cars wating to turn right, then switches on her right indicator. Me and the guy walking on the path near her look at each other, his "WTF was that!" pretty much sums it up
