With all those variables it remains a fact that a large car kills more people. Doesn’t matter if the accident is due to alcohol, not being attentive or anything else. Your argumentation is about the cause for an accident, the study and the article are about the fact large cars are more dangerous.

NYC has data available for location of collisions and fault. Something like 66% of all collisions between vehicles and pedestrians are with the pedestrians in crosswalks, and 75% of the time the fault is 50% or more on the driver.

I’ll catch heat for this, no doubt, but I’d definitely be in favor of only allowing trucks that are legit commercial vehicles in city centers--like construction and the like--not Bob driving his Ford Super Duty 350 dually to his office job.

Nobody mentioned the Will Vi?

America: Our problems are easily solvable but we won’t because the solutions are unpopular to those in power.

2nd Gear: While reducing the number of Brontosaurus-sized vehicles on the road would be better for safety (pedestrian and otherwise), reducing the speed limit is absolutely the easier regulation to enforce.

The McKinsey study used data gathered in December of 2022, and if you dig into the data says a lot more than just a headline. 

I’m calling fake, we all know from the movies that any vehicle that goes over a cliff immediately explodes into a nuclear grade fireball often while still in midair. 

The Confederacy surrendered but they never quit. Now that they are about to take the reins of our federal government, we real freedom loving Americans in the tax paying Blue States have to find every way possible to undermine the bullying dictators that are going to spend our federal taxes to uphold their bigoted…

One of my favorite little beliefs is that if actual Jesus came back, Christians would be horrified to realize he’s actually a Middle-Easterner, and would look like a Westerner’s idea of Muhammad more than anything else.

The only Christians I know that actually try to live a Christlike life definitely didn’t vote for Cheetolini.

Modern Christians would ABSOLUTELY crucify Jesus again if they got the chance.

Good. Fuck Walmart. 

They fired Jesus ? where are all the churches complaining and picketing, oh Mexican Jesus, that’s okay

Truthfully the tuna can is actually a marvel of engineering compared to the Cybertruck. How many tuna cans are out there right now, just quietly performing the task for which they were designed under all sorts of adverse conditions without failure?

I suspect that they will be official car of the Trump Regime so prices will skyrocket, with special editions like “January 6th’ with pre broken windows and Charlottesville with Tiki Torches in the bed. With the penultimate 47 model with flags and eagles and dead immigrants and orange furry seats with a 600% markup 

Imagine you have $120k to blow on a car. And instead of buying a Range Rover, X7, Escalade, GLS or QX80 you say “yep, I’ll buy a tuna can on wheels”.

You’re staring with a faulty assumption, though: That if the suspect escapes the initial stop, they automatically escape punishment. Radios exist. I’m told that a couple of cops even have brains that they could use to “detect” things and make cases. Most criminals really aren’t that smart and will get caught…

I too feel as though I got rear-ended by the government just last night.

Why not both sides?
