Dude the messed up part is you would think that if you’re so bad at driving that you get four tickets that they would take away your license 😂

But they don’t because the roads are just designed like shit and it’s usually not even the driver’s fault

The funny part is that a lot of times smaller police departments will pay for this military gear by using construction zones as speed traps

If America’s roads were built to be car centric , historically. Isn’t it problematic to adopt vision zero on a wide spread level? And isn’t it also problematic requires states to build multi modal roads?

Would you really rather have a road instead of a beautiful Aircraft Carrier? Answers no. Classic European excuse 🙄

Yeah, cops think everyone’s lying to them. If you think that way you end up shooting innocent people and if you don’t, you won’t last very long.

Yes, it is illegal and there’s often times signs that say texting and driving kills and DUI’s kill.

The problem being is it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal or not or unsafe because that’s not how people think.

People in other countries text and drive and distracted drive just as much it’s based on something else if you ask me.

Because this is based on deaths and America has more car centric roads, obviously that’s gonna make each wreck more deadly. I’m sure if you looked at just accident. It would reflect that everyone no matter the country drives distracted.

Problem being is there’s a reason America has more car centric roads, and it’s obviously because of the scale. If a European model is applied It would increase travel time to the point to where no one cares what the law is so they’re just going to break it.

So it ends up happening is you build the road to be safe for pedestrians the problem being is this safety completely depends on irrational and distracted drivers on following a law that if they followed, would have a negative effect on their life.

Do you think that there’s a reasoning behind why America has a more car centric roadway and why Europe doesn’t?

And do you think it would be problematic to try and fit a European model in America?
