@nilloc @Tak Not only heavier vehicles are responsible for more road deaths and injuries, they also cause a disproportionate amount of damage to public infrastructure (they ruin roads just by using them), and they usually pollute more (if they use fuel). But we all will keep subsidizing all these damages until they're taxed appropriately.

@Franzia @Facebones I have only driven three times in the past 13 years. It's one of the benefits of having lived in cities where you don't need a car to survive (Bogotá, Colombia; Genoa, Italy; and NYC). I wish your city can become like this soon, and you don't have to drive ever again!

@psycho_driver @Masimatutu texting while driving. Assuming you have more rights just because you were in a car and running late. Sounds like the jackass was you.

@Miclux Oh wow, it's almost if villages or small towns could be improved with better public transportation options and fewer cars. This is a great revelation, thank you for this chat.

@figaro @vlad76 Hey, did you guys know that speed limits exist because the faster a car goes, the more likely it is to kill someone?

If you don't go over the the speed limit not only do you not have to pay a fine, you're also less likely to kill someone! It's a win for everyone!
