#Cars Are A Disaster For #Society -- Here Are the Numbers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp75-46PnMY

Most people don't even really grasp how much they really pay for #driving when all personal #costs are included. Well, the story gets much worse when you consider the EXTERNALITIES of driving, meaning, the total burden #cardependency puts on society.

What are some strategies for combating aggressive driving that:
1. do not involve law enforcement and
2. can be implemented even in places where the government considers cars to be the default form of transportation?

Delphi

If we had #PublicTransport we could reduce #driving. But rural areas have no #Buses. Others who are using #trains or a #bus find #commuting a problem because of poor services. These issues are not being addressed as they don't make more money for the #wealthy & #elite.

Sent to taxi company #Saskatoon. They confirmed

Safe cycling shldn't depend on drivers.

"Cab with licence #123 ABC did all of this in less than 2 mins:

1. Did not stop at the stop sign at #th Ave N while travelling east on ##nd St E.

2. Passed a bicycle (me) over a double yellow line, with less than 1m distance on ##nd St E. .

3. Did not stop at the stop sign at Street Ave E before turning right from ##nd St E.

4. Did U-turn in front of XYZ Hotel on Street Ave E."

- Society-wide cognitive decline due to covid and other factors.
- Virtuality, leadind to a blissful disregard of the reality of other humans.
- Political incorporation of notional reality.

These trends are converging on a kind of cultural infantilism. Object impermanence, acausality, focus on immediate desires, etc.

People on the road are becoming more incompetent nowadays. They often don't turn on their signals before they change lanes, nor do they pay attention to other cars before crossing the intersection. I'm starting to believe that either people's attention spans are deteriorating, themselves becoming careless and cynical, or both. #rant #society #driving

I like this one.

Highway "speeding costs you" warning sign showing fine rates:

120 kph = 3 points
130 kph = 4 points
140 kph = 4 points

"Best value" added to the third one.

Motorists are endlessly lectured about the need to slow down, but most of us go below the speed limit because car manufacturers always calibrate speedometers to show less than the car’s real velocity. #driving

Stressful drive for Thanksgiving tonight. Saw two car accidents right in front of me. One involved an asshole in a gigantic pickup truck weaving in and out of traffic loose control fly over a guardrail and become stuck in trees just over a bridge and right before entering the water. The other was a 15 mph rear end accident in traffic caused but another large pickup truck in the trees of the center of the highway. When not in traffic it started raining. 2 hour drive turned to 3. What irks me about these accidents is that 1. It was before people on the roads are drunk(er than normal) and 2. People travel in groups and families more often than you normally see. That means dude* that flew into the trees at 80 mph could have hurt his family all to save a few minutes on a long drive. Hate to think about it. Had to have a beer when I arrived. No more driving tonight for me.

*If it was a woman driver, she was driving with high levels of toxic masculinity, so there is a reason for my assumption of gender.

Remember to watch out for deer if you drive in the Midwestern US, particularly at this time of year. There were three of them eating apples that fell off the neighbor's apple tree.

First drive of the season in Winter weather. A light rain/ice/snow mix, with very blustery winds.

Tucked Ol' Blue into AWD for the journey out (some icing on the roads), and back to 2WD for the return trip.

Of late, I have been thinking often about the dangers of our dependence on driving. For years, I’ve driven by this memorial on Interstate 64 west of Charlottesville to #Virginia highway workers killed on the job. It includes at least 135 names. Late yesterday afternoon, I stopped there. #driving #safety #roadsafety

A rectangular granite memorial with the flags of Virginia and the United States on poles to the left and right. A set of three profiles representing highway workers are cut into the right side of the memorial.

There is grass in front and a hill behind.

“Using publicly available data, the authors put the annual public tab at $35.7 billion, which amounts to about $14,000 for every household in the state. Those that do own vehicles pony up an additional $12,000 on average in direct costs.

The authors say their goal is to demonstrate the total costs of #driving so that information can be used for comparison when held up against other types of #transit investments, like bus, subway, and train systems.” https://mastodon.social/@bikeottawa/111439143374087973

It's not very often I have the type 2 fun of driving on the M1 motorway on a Saturday evening.

Can someone explain why when doing 63mph in lane 1, lane 2 was empty as far as the eye could see - I was going slightly faster than lane 3 (and possibly lane 4)?

The standard of #driving in the UK is seriously shit.

I think it's a Canadian ritual to grumble aloud to others who may or may not be in your car about how that person in the other car should not be on the highway.

Given how drivers around here "merge like a zip", we can reasonably conclude that they have really interesting ways of putting on a pair of pants. And maybe the consequent discomfort explains why they're so aggressive on the road.

Fellow Angelenos, if you’re thinking about driving your car in LA tonight, DON’T. It’s really, really bad and dangerous. People are driving like they WANT to die. I was driving for Lyft to make my rent and I just called it. Not worth it.

Possibly related, as I walked from the car to my building, I saw 3 jets in a row on the landing approach to Burbank BUR all abort the approach and peel off under full power. 😧 #losangeles #rain #driving
