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.

I know I almost put you in the hospital with thousands in medical bills that you can't afford and possibly lifelong pain and suffering but did you consider you almost scratched my paint?

I just did a simple oopsie and now you're verbally abusing me and it's making me scared :(

We don’t think talk enough about how crossing the street is basically like entering a war zone in most US cities

Just one of the many conversations we swept under the rug in all mainstream political dialogue

I think I should be allowed to shoot the car.

Assassination attempts in burgerland should just be crosswalk vehicular homicide. Everyone is primed to accept it as inevitable, and the legal system insulates you from consequences.
