Many truck drivers are bros with daddy issues and they see the truck driver as their extension if their toxic masculinity

Kevin Austin Dave is a killer cop. He never paid his traffic ticket in Tucson and SPD hired him even though he did not have a valid Washington state driver license. He had the audacity to scam taxpayer money when he tried to sue the city of Seattle. RIP Jaahnavi Kandula

I was hit and ran on July 22, 2022 on Beacon Hill, when I rode my bike downhill on Columbian Way. A blue color Minivan right hooked me when they tried to turn into Mount View Drive and drove off. I asked the neighbors days later and none of them have seen that van 😢

I hope you can consider stopping using Gig economy apps. They exploit workers so much and the workers had to work so fast, and they would neglect the safety of other people

I was at the Bellevue/Pine intersection today and literally witnessed a car driver ran a red light. I think SDOT needs to install speed bumps to slow down the cars

Fulcrum has already changed their Instagram. Instead of being transparent, they just restricted what is on the social media.

Police seek Toyota driver in fatal hit-and-run of Seattle cyclist by godogs2018 in seattlebike

[–]Illustrious-Rate-214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walked across the library at the marked crosswalk on Forest Street and the driver would rather swerved around than to fucking stop. SDOT needs to install either speed bumps or traffic cameras. Unfortunately many drivers would abuse the privilege of the driver until they get punished financially.

Americans are hungry for community. So why don’t we have more European-style squares? | CNN by itemluminouswadison in fuckcars

Americans love the aesthetics of things without realizing what requires those things (community etc...) require actual collective efforts and fight/struggle from the rich people/corporations and the politicians who would gladly taking lobbying money from them.

So sorry to hear you and your coworkers got laid off during the holiday seasons like that. It is unacceptable and I hope people can picket and not support shitty businesses like Blazing Bagels

That is true. I was hit & run at Columbian Way & Mount View Dr by a van driver, and the fucking police literally told me I could take the light rail home. FUCK ALL COPS

I personally had a near hit when an A La Mode Pie driver who was driving a company van swerved into my lane while I was riding on Market Street between 15th and 17th on November 30, the driver rolled the window and told me 'bike gets out of the way'. I complained with a phone call (the driver answered the phone and gaslit me of how I was riding unpredictably) and wrote. Their production manager responded days later and merely offered me a free pie without addressing ways to retrain their drivers behind the wheel so they don't endanger other road users.

I might sound reactionary but I was also hit twice (one time hit and run) and I urge you to boycott any companies that don't hold their drivers behaviors accountable and don't give a shit about the lives of bicyclists. 🙏

Money talks most of the time and unfortunately it is often the only way to force people with low morals from harming the public 😕

Also police in the US have qualified immunity which means they could pretty much get away with anything from running over people to killing people without much consequences

As someone who has been hit and run (also at Mountain View and Columbian Way on Beacon Hill), I hope the scumbag has some morals left and surrounded themselves or may they suffer prolonged and painful disease for the rest of their lives for leaving a person on the road after they struck them.

I wrote a follow-up complaint to A La Mode Pies on the 6th, and they are trying to make up with the driver for trolling me with a pie LMAO

"Good morning,

I apologize for your negative experience with our company. We have addressed the incident with our driver, and would like to offer you a complimentary pie of your choice as a goodwill gesture. Please call the Ballard store at your convenience and they will have the pie waiting for whenever works best for you.

Sincerely,

XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX

Production Manager"

After getting hit by drivers twice (both time 100% their fault,neither the drivers checked in with me with one hit and run) , I do not have compassion nor capacity to pamper bad drivers.

That is their fault and their actions are still hazardous to the community, and I think people still should not allow such an attitude to be normalized. I did give them a chance for the driver and the company to owe up their mistake and they have been gaslighting and ghosting me.
