    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.

  6. 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)

  7. @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

  8. @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
