    Others wrongly said the new speed bumps on the site of the accident were installed because of the death of the 11-year-old, says Murphy-Perron — but he notes the safety measure was planned before the accident.

    “Some people were just saying you know, ‘Haven’t you had enough, look there’s speedbumps now. What more do you want?’” he said.

    Advanced levels of carbrain.

      The vast majority of issues with cars stem from drivers not thinking that they can and will cause a great deal of harm. What the Netherlands is doing is VERY nice.

    What kind of piece of shit do you have to be to threaten the family of a child who was killed while riding a bike, simply because they wanted to remember him?

    What kind of piece of fucking shit does that?

        Well, this was in Quebec, so I doubt it was some MAGAt asshole. It just proves that assholery is universal to humanity, and not a nationalistic thing.

    This is tragic on so many levels.

    Carbrains’ sense of responsibility and liability is maddeningly infuriating. As an e-scooter guy I fully understand that the culture around me puts the responsibility for my safety solely on my own shoulders, but I’m a man, and this kid was eleven fucking years old.

    I’ve read enough history to understand how heartless human beings are as a species, but somehow, there are still moments that shock me. Just awful.
