I mean…I have no idea which side to take. The article gives me nothing to work with.
In general, I’m very fuck cars. However, what happened? Was she hit on the sidewalk? Was she crossing the road? Was she walking in the street instead of the sidewalk? Was the driver speeding? Did the driver run a red light? Was the driver drunk? Was the driver distracted by a cell phone? Was the woman jaywalking? Were there any visual obscurities?
All I know is that a 78 year old woman died after being hit by an SUV, which tells me nothing, and that the driver stayed on the scene, which tells me it wasn’t intentional.
Outside of that, I can’t make any logical conclusion on whether this article even belongs here. It might. I just have no way of knowing if the woman was at fault, the driver was at fault, or if the fact that it was an SUV was at fault. I don’t know.
Sometime i’m not sure whether fuckcars is for literally hating car or hating car-centric city planning. Sidebar says the latter, but people’s behaviour says the former.
In practice it’s for hating bikes and pedestrians and making up imaginary limits for what trains can do. But that’s only in the comments.
Top level posts should adhere to side bar; the horror of car centric culture, design, etc.
And comments should be why we dont need to stop having cars we actually just need to go back to fdr new deal style cars but not quite that far because thay would be communist and ametica still had trains but like the 1960s or whatever. And also nobody in a car ever did anything wrong. And also one more lane would fix everything, but yes two would be excessive.
