2. As anyone who spends 5 minutes on US roads can tell you, distracted driving has been functionally decriminalized.
Compare with France where you can lose your license for 6 months, the UK where automated camera enforcement is widespread, or Japan where you can go to prison for 6 months!

Rather than just reporting on what the police told you, how about doing some journalism and start pushing local government for why these tragedies are still happening when there are tools available to prevent them?

Well this is some bullshit. No advice at all targeted toward the real problem: drivers. #sameasiteverwas
Intersection safety starts with all of us.🚦
Last year, 15 pedestrians lost their lives on our streets. This number must go down.
January is Intersection Safety Month. This student-created video reminds us to slow down, put phones away, and stay cautious at intersections.

@cityofnorthvan.bsky.social how many more people have to be killed in our city before you start taking safe street design implementation seriously? This is on you and your engineering department. Our mayor uttered #VisionZero once. Where are we with that?! www.nsnews.com/local-news/p...

Can we get one of these for cyclists who insist on using 10billion candlepower bike lights aimed into the eyes of oncoming traffic because, "I want to be sure I'm seen"?
![[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.

A pro active transport mayor and council @cityofnorthvan.bsky.social keep telling me providing a complete network is complicated and takes time and careful consideration so as not to upset the drivers. Meanwhile other communities are pushing forward and getting it done, leaving us in the dust.
It's been wonderful to see seniors, parents with toddlers, people on electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and others using the protected bike and roll network. The network helps them feel safer and be safer. More network improvements are coming in Victoria and the CRD!

“An isolated bike lane is a toy; a useful network of bike and roll lanes is core infrastructure.”
I love this commentary on how empowering it is to have choices in your community. It’s also invigorating to know many communities in the region are contributing to a useful network of transportation ♥️

So tired of people I’ve nothing in common with following me because they are trying to sell a novel or new album. No, I don’t read fan fiction and don’t listen to bad country music. I wish for an option to remove followers, rather than resorting to blocking them.
