We don't have any proper infrastructure for people outside the car. 1/
We build our vehicles so big we can't see people outside the car. 2/
We advertise and market our vehicles for speed and recklessness. 3/
Our culture celebrates the fastest and most powerful vehicles and ridicule everything else. 4/

Our enforcement teams use shockingly light content to communicate our murderous roads...absolutely grotesque and so so harmful 6/ https://twitter.com/tomflood1/status/1323252880707563521?s=20

This is a recipe for death. This is not surprising at all, this is exactly what we made. We've done this, we f'ed it all up. This is the result of our unquestioned reverence to the car. Congratulations everyone, we're a f'ing disgrace. https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/2020/12/01/child-struck-by-vehicle-on-hamilton-mountain-police-say.html?fbclid=IwAR2gspUAnbRbjYTzd4p2rV90GoxLK5Eq_o42OZirvl2c7q7FinvLLG-JqAs
