The article mentions that things got worse, that in the past people would not have rallied even against a mere memorial for a child that died in a traffic accident and that anti-cyclists campaign have fueled real hatred making something like that political.
Really, this is revealing a truly ugly side of some people. What a monster do you have to be to react like that? I know things got controversial because, oh good, physical measures to reduce speeding were suggested there as a reaction to the death of the child that was, as I understand a victim to that speeding. Just imagine if you have to spend 2 seconds longer on your car journey because of that.
Two seconds longer?
My school dropoff round-trip is 28 speed humps in 15 minutes.
In the past year I have replaced three wheel bearings, a driveshaft, two engine mounts and a set of bonnet bump stops. It takes days. I’m not even close to done yet. The cars are garaged and everything.
I know this group has a hatred of cars. I have a hatred of roads.
Speed humps suck too. It just pushes people into bigger cars that mow down more kids.
The car loses some lifetime due to increased stress on the suspension, axles, etc.
The children get to live.
I honestly think this is a symptom of struggling financially so hard that youd rather maybe save $1000 4 months down the line than… Protect children’s lives.
Why do you think we hate cars so much? This is what driving a car does to you: turns you into a monster.
Also: I’d bet you’d face more legal consequences for throwing a rock at a speeding car than you would for running someone over.
Someone says I shouldn’t blast down to my esthetician at 55 anymore? Better get the effigy
car brain chuds
