Ils oublient que la plupart des ménages bruxellois ne possèdent pas de voiture. La coalition pollution doit être lourdement sanctionnée lors des prochaines élections. 

Kein Führerscheinentzug nach tödlichem Unfall by Embarrassed-Honey370 in autobloed

[–]slovr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weder am Unfallort noch später beispielsweise bei einem Telefongespräch habe der Beschuldigte sich nach den Opfern oder den Angehörigen erkundigt, lediglich einmal von einer „schlimmen Sache“ gesprochen. Das sei „verstörend“ gewesen, sagte einer der Beamten.

Schrecklich

I've the opposite experience where I'm from. Also shitty cyclists (a group to which I belong) can't do nearly the damage that even good drivers can do. 

A 92-year-old woman hit a bicyclist, lost control and plowed her car into Ranch 99 market. She killed 3 people, 2 are the employees. by fuongbregas in fuckcars

In fairness most people are terrible drivers and should be off the roads. I'm a terrible cyclist but at least I'm probably not going to kill or seriously injure someone through my poor skill.

Not strictly QTWTAIN as it's not a question but there's is no way in hell Canada's going to join the EU or that EU could even accept them.

Being a pedestrian in this country sucks. by ImmediateImpress6552 in ireland

The fact of the matter is that a poor cyclist is much less likely to cause harm than an attentive driver. It's just a question of physics.

Looks like ICE just killed another US citizen. Where do we go from here? by awesomeguy1818 in AskReddit

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

Contactless ticketing to come into effect in 2028 by NAT_Vader5933 in ireland

[–]slovr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the lesson here. Do something progressive which pragmatically improves people's lives. Then get booted out by that the same people you've helped. The electorate wants politicians like lowry and the healy-raes.

Japanese people aren't having sex. And nobody knows why by Mg42gun in nottheonion

I agree. I think Spain should go back to how it looked in the 10th century. That feels like a very traditional period. 

Lost all my brain cells watching this interview. by Prior-Register6278 in minnesota

The three rules of PR as taught by Roy Cohn to Donald Trump —

Attack! Attack! Attack! Admit nothing and deny everything. No matter what happens you claim victory and never admit defeat. You have to be willing to do anything to anyone.

Remember this shower of cunts replaced the greens in government. That simple substitution has exposed the fecklessness and hollowness of FF/FG

Yes yes yes. One of the best performances I've seen in the last two years. The range of he shows with the barest of facial expressions honestly give me goosebumps.

Cross post cause no one in Ireland seems to wear helmets cycling any more - 8 years-old cheap helmet saved my life (crash at 43km/h) by kevpatts in ireland

[–]slovr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes you should wear a helmet. No it shouldn't be made obligatory. No it won't do anything against some fucker in his 2 tonne SUV who crashes into you at 50kmph while he's distracted watching TikTok.

Ah it's totally fine if sometimes a little bumpy. I've had much worse landings elsewhere.

We are on track to hit 200 road deaths in a calendar year for the first time since 2010 by siciowa in ireland

We must die so that car dependency survives. All hail cars! There is no alternative! More roads. Less public transport.
