How many pedestrians are hitting cars and killing drivers, again? Tell me more about the imbalance of personal responsibility.

How many cyclists are killed because they didn’t observe traffic laws while not wearing helmets?

You tell me! Teach me the truths of the car death cult and how you are somehow the most deadly things on the road by 100x but refuse to take any responsibility.

Lol car death cult. Off your meds again? When doesn’t a car driver take responsibility? By definition they’ve passed a license exam. They pay for insurance. They renew their license. They inspect and register their cars annually to ensure they’re in working order. If they park illegally, they get ticketed. If they don’t pay it, their car gets booted. Feeling dumb yet? Cause you should, and if you’re not, it’s because you’re beyond help and are the most entitled type of nyc’er.
There’s lots of laws regarding what they can and can’t do behind the wheel. A cyclist doesn’t even need to prove they have feet. And there’s nothing stopping them from giving free rides to friends dangling off their bikes. And if they get hit by a car going the wrong way down 2nd Ave, driving against traffic with their front wheel in the air, the driver is responsible for their medical bills and bike. If you want me to tell you, at least 90% of cyclist deaths are because they didn’t obey they laws of traffic and they weren’t wearing helmets.
Maybe instead of banning all cars you could do something that makes sense. Sterilization would be good for humanity. But on a local-nyc level, start with taking away the 535,000 licenses that undocumented citizens have. That would take a lot of cars off the road, don’t you think? Then take away the dining shacks/rat motels. More efficient placement of citibikes. Put them in parking garages instead of the streets. Invest in programs that promote bike safety instead of telling them “literally, everything that goes wrong on your bike is someone else’s fault - so get out there and do whatever tf you want.” Reduce the number in the winter months. Reduce commercial only parking. Change the hours of no parking. Extend the hours cars can be in a metered place.
Literally, all of these things would decrease the amount of cars on the roads and increase traffic efficiency. But nah - banning all cars is the way. Extreme measures only that effect everyone, reduce freedom, congestion our shit subways, and punish everyone regardless of how long they’ve lived here and paid taxes. God you’re stupid. Hopefully all you’ll continue to run for is a bus and not public office. Wait - you don’t use the bus, do you? Because that would have to go if you ban all cars, and I guess packages will be dropped with little parachutes attached by overhead drones, like we’re all apart of a WWII cargo cult.

Puts "reduce humans" above "reduce cars" -- so, outright putting cars before people. Got it.
Saved me a lot of time with that one.
