A dead cat can pass a US driving test.

I’ve actually read, in original hard copy, articles written regarding traffic at the time. Not to mention the pollution. Yes pollution. Horse feces and urine. There are also the photographs.

You simply repeat things you are told displaying your ignorance.

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier:

Facts don’t matter to you because they go against your belief system. I get it, you want to narrow the public way and restrict transit out of a concern of people moving around too much. The idea in US cities and other places, even if you don’t know it, is to get people back into that traditional 3 mi radius. The way…

There have been studies done on people using the full braking capacity of their vehicles and the answer is they don’t. These studies were used to support the use of automatic emergency braking systems.

I didn’t assert what you are imagining I did. I addressed that.

I think race tracks might have a better chance to stay open if they had steady business from real drivers’ ed.

The subject here Billy is “real cities”. That is code for dense cities that have been around for more than a century. This anti-driving nonsense wants people to believe that streets in these cities were widened for automobiles. This is false. They were built wide in order to move people and goods going as far back as…

Better example:

Why only specific instances of idiotcy behind the wheel? If someone hits me from behind while I’m am bicycling I am just as hurt or dead if it’s texting or countless other things. If we are going to use fear of punishment to control behavior, let’s really use it.

In the early automobile age even pre-teens were able to drive responsibly. My grandfather drove his mother places (like three states away) at the age of 12 in 1924. Like in many other things it’s been the changes that have been made to society that are at fault. (see authors such as John Taylor Gatto on stunting…

Wait a minute here.... you lived in an apartment complex that gave you over ten days (over a week plus 3 days) and a possible extension beyond that to complete a project where the car was left in an obviously crippled state? You need to put that place as the most favorable to wrenching apartment complex ever because…

I replied to a comment regarding interfering in Syria.

Operation Ajax made Iran what it is today. If only the folks in DC would learn some sort of lesson from their mistake.

(just about all) Streets in real cities are no wider than they were a century ago. Preserving the functionality of the streets for general travel while adding an overhead BRT will not induce anything but bus travel.

Review what is going on in ‘real’ cities as the public way is being reserved for transit, bicyclists, instead of being for general travel.

Bus travel is painfully slow and a bicycle is often faster. The solution in the USA is to ruin arterial roads for general traffic in favor of BRT. This Chinese solution avoids all…

It depends on the jury. If the jury consists of people who see money as the great equalizer, because his is as green as anyone else’s then it could turn out ok. If the jury consists of people who see social justice and politics as the great equalizers he’s doomed because ferrari equalized him.

“the hardtop LaFerrari that he already owns.”

A solution presents itself.

City congestion existed before automobiles. Wide city streets existed before automobiles. Conditions have vastly improved since the automobile’s arrival and have continued to improve up until the anti-driving movement took hold and started reserving hunks of the public way. The anti-driving crowd is simply…
