This is solely because public transportation in North America is an absolute joke and owning a car is a necessity to survive.

Ok, I see that you’re not here in good faith. Keep repeating those statistics, I’m sure they’ll sway someone at some point.

You are correct that they are not the sole problem, but large vehicles, especially trucks and SUVs exacerbate the problem.

“then vehicle size would have nothing to do with their death.”

Yeah but, like, that costs money.

“Do you enjoy the jolt of coming to a complete stop”

Time for another round of stock manipulation, I see.

It’s up to Vance to prove that Harris could’ve done something bucko, not the other way around.

It has. It has created a legion of kids who were raised on iPads are now utterly incapable of holding attention.

It’s not arguing semantics though. China has long abandoned communism in favor of state controlled capitalism more akin to Russia’s oligarchy.

You think a company whose main business is battery technology is going to switch to hydrogen power in 2 years?

The power to seize the car varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You understand this, right?

The cops can only issue a punishment they are allowed to within the confines of the law. So they issued the tickets. Maybe direct your rage at the people who wrote the toothless laws.

I would argue people are far more overconfident on streets. There is familiarity in the environment that gives people the confidence to push harder and harder. If you’ve never been on a track, or you rarely do it, you’re likely to be more nervous and careful.

Oh what liberties and luxuries aren’t available to, say, someone in Canada that are available in the US?

I spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong visiting my wife’s family and doing all the touristy stuff and I have to say that without even thinking about I could live there without a car should I need to because the public transportation is so good, so accessible, and so cheap. Yes, people still drove there, but it wasn’t necessary.

To all the people that complain about taking their fast cars to tracks because it’s expensive, or too far and instead want to drive fast on public roads: this is why.

What should the cops have done? Summarily executed him? The punishment for the offences witnessed by the cops are tickets. It’s not up to them to go after the parents.

Sticking your head in the sand is clearly an option. Just don’t complain when the leopards eat your face.

What those people “who just choose to live their lives and stay out of it” don’t understand is that we live in a society, and when you buy a product that is enriching a man who platforms neo-Nazis and other human dregs while also funding political candidates, they are not staying “out of it.”
