A large number of drivers seem to treat almost hitting vulnerable road users at "low" speed like they almost got into a fender bender (hexbear.net)

I cannot explain otherwise how so many people can nearly hit a vulnerable road user at like 20kph and then be mad when those people are quite irate they nearly just got hospitalized. Like yeah this'd be a nuisance if I was in a car, but I'm not.

Anyways give everyone not in a car a gun so they can retaliate. You may not hit the car, you may shoot periliously close, though.

This and also what if we legally removed people's ability to own a car unless they demonstrated a specific and pressing need for one

I'm okay with owning a car for recreation but only if they're restricted to designated race tracks and have to be stored at said race tracks, although at that point it might make more sense to form racer clubs that own the cars communally with each enthusiast pitching in for maintenance/other costs
