Beyond the noise, pollution, congestion, carbrain, and car dependency, here's driver entitlement and arrogance encroaching on what little space left for footpaths and bike lanes. Cars ruin cities.

The people just helping schoolkids cross the streets made dangerous from car drivers want to wear body cameras due to abuse from drivers. The insane world we live in. Cars ruin cities.

It's always "them". "Someone else" is always the problem. Those [insert group] here. Those ebikes. Those older drivers. Those BMW drivers. Those over 40. Time to take a hard look at our car dependency, unsafe infrastructure, lack of enforcement, and ignorance.

Didn't know the footpath is free parking so long if you turn on your 'free parking anywhere' sign aka the hazard lights. What a lifehack!

Minimum parking requirements are on the review board! Dare I hope? We should have minimum PT, walkability, and cycling safety scores instead.

It's not even December, and deaths lost on our roads have exceeded all of last year already. We pretend the problem is anything other than dangerous driving, dangerous infrastructure for anyone outside in a car, and excessively growing vehicle sizes.

Car fire 🔥 near Richmond station. Won't make the news unless it involves an ebike. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Must be those ebikes @victoriapolice. How's the crackdown going? 45 fatalities on Victorian roads since the "crackdown" started 2 months ago.
Also, keep an eye out!?! What kind of weak response is this. If a single postie was hit by an ebike, you'd be calling for a complete ban and crackdown.

Grim. Tragic. Angry. If this is yet another $2,000 fine for killing a person (see www.threads.com/@liveable_me...), I'd truly lost faith in humanity.
