"Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people."

@Ciarancuffe On a point of information - and I think it's important that the people of Ireland know this - any member of An Garda Síochána can respond to any potential criminal offence they detect, including road traffic offences.

Working with Brian Rogers, of the UCD Spatial Dynamics Lab, Dublin Inquirer's Collision Tracker has recently been updated:
https://www.collisiontracker.ie/?ref=mastodon
It now includes not only hazards, near misses, and collisions reported by users, but also years of data from the Road Safety Authority.

The analyst, Hans-Jakob Schindler, says that terrorist groups (and thankfully he doesn't just talk about fundamentalist Islamic groups like IS, but says right wing groups do this as well) advise their adherents to use cars precisely because of the camouflage and the ease of attack.
What so many cities have not attempted is to make it convenient and accessible to get around (including with large loads that people tend to say they need a car for) on public transit, pedestrian-only, human-powered (including with e-assist) cycle-only, and multi-use paths (kick scooter, skating, etc) while simultaneously banning most personal cars.
