Have you notice how the general opinion is that people getting hit by cars somehow deserved it? My best friend was hit by a text-and-drive kindof woman. He was an athlete and now he can’t walk more than a few hundred meters.
I’m not talking about people who throw themselves under wheel. I’m talking about legitimately crossing the street at a stop and some asshole honks you or attacks you for being in the way. There seems to be a general consensus that traffic flow is more important than people’s life. Just see how many were begging for protesters to get run over, on reddit for example.
I’ve never seen people supporting a driver for honking or attacking someone who was legitimately crossing the street…
Good for you then :)
And good for you pretending that it’s the pervasive attitude, I guess.
It is pervasive though.
No it’s not.
“I never saw it so it doesn’t exist”.
“This totally exists, just trust me bro”
I’m gonna take a wild guess and imagine your’e driving a car on the daily, dont ya?
Nope, I just live in reality. You should try it some time.
In reality all of the people I know who are cycling got hit by a car. Hell in this very thread you can see people talking about it. What’s your point exactly?
