Or maybe everybody should breathe through their pants, calm down a bit, share the road, that kinda stuff.
breathe through their pants
…fart?
The largest single project in the world is the US National Highway System, and yet, somehow, all our public transit and trans-national train services suck.
You must love your car so much.

I sincerely think that someone parked in the bike lane (or fire lane or other places you’re not supposed to park for safety) should forfeit the protection of law. While your car is there, anyone inconvenienced by it should be allowed to just do whatever.
People are like “well I was just there for a minute!” and I’m like it takes less than a minute for a cyclist to swerve around the ill-placed car, get hit by some other car, and die, so that doesn’t seem convincing.
I just don’t care that you need your car to be there for personal convenience. Deal with it instead of making it everyone else’s problem.
If you’re just there a minute, there is a correspondingly small chance someone will come along and do something to the car that inconvenienced or endangered them. It all works out just fine. Roll the dice.
I don’t think I understand. You want me to roll the dice with my life going around their car, so they can have an easier time getting coffee?
OP was clearly referring to car drivers.
I used to walk and take public transportation or bike just about everywhere. Then I became disabled and had to go back to mostly using a car. Even with my mobility disability, I would never, ever park in a bike lane, double park, park in a fire truck zone, etc. If there is no parking close enough to where I’m trying to go? I don’t go there. If it’s that important, I’ll go back another time and try again.
It’s not that hard to not be a dick inconveniencing everybody around you.
Hell, just yesterday I had to change my restaurant plans because I wouldn’t have been able to walk the distance required to get to the restaurant because there wasn’t any parking nearby. Not a big deal.
Most cars can’t handle going off-road so it really isn’t true freedom of movement.
ALSO it should be legal for me to plow other cars out of my way because they are blocking my path.
As a car owner, this is an insane take. Burning the car would be so much worse for the environment. You should only get to burn the driver.
Name calling… Check Unsubstantiated claims… Check Fake quotes… Check Rampant escalation of violence… Check
Yup, quality post we got here guys. I haven’t even had a cup of coffee yet.
Look, if we in ‘fuckcars’ can’t agree on entirely reasonable things like setting fire to cars parked in bike lanes, what are we even doing? 😂
Ha, I get it. Lots of stuff here is posted super seriously. It’s easy to incite this community where it spills over into others.
I suppose the joke part of this didn’t sink in. I refer to my earlier comment about lack of coffee. :)
Ever try blowing up a car and burn your mouth on the exhaust? No, be reasonable…you set it on fire!
Wait, are you meaning to imply no one has ever suggested drivers should be allowed to run over protesters in then us? Bills submitted to red-state legislatures have made news.
Are you sure you want to try to take this hill?

The moment the protestors barricade your doors and physically prevent you from leaving your vehicle.
So does forcing someone to stop their vehicle and only proceed on foot count as grand theft auto?
Surely we’re talking about felonies here, and since it’s being done by a group you can add conspiracy as well.
You’re talking about an absurd fantasy.
An “absurd fantasy” is sitting on the highway and expecting not to get run over. A few states have made it expressly legal to run people over in these circumstances.
I’d call it absurd to think it’s acceptable to murder people with a car due to a minor inconvenience and then celebrate it like you are. Pretty disgusting, too.
Yeah, it’s pretty disgusting taking out your feelings on folks just trying to go about their lives and make ends meet.
Hurt. The. Rich. You. Idiots.
I suggest you take a look in the mirror and then take your own advice
I guess it’s all criminals leaving these signs around then.
At what point do carbrains become liable for destroying the environment?
I would say the very second passenger car traffic exceeds the environmental impact of the cruise industry. How much environmental damage does Carnival Cruise Lines do compared to all the highway traffic in the United States? We’re talking an entirely recreational industry here, if all cruise ships disappeared tomorrow society would keep right on rolling. Cases of norovirus would decrease.
You want passenger rail to increase in the United States? Great. Let’s start with Amtrak’s website. I live within walking distance of an active Amtrak station. Several times in my life I’ve had a want or need to travel cross country, and it occurred to me “I wonder if I could take the train.” The answer, inevitably, is no. I go to Amtrak’s website, pick a starting station and a destination station, and usually they outright can’t plan a trip between those locations. Not even capable of saying things like “take the Silver Star to Grand Central station in New York, wait 8 hours, then take the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago.” It proved to be less work on my part to drive, fly as a passenger on an airliner, and fly as pilot of a Cessna, than take the train in this country.
And what part of that is my personal fault?
Oh, well, if others are worse then I guess you’re not doing anything wrong.
If you’ve got to lose weight, you cut out the fat, not the muscle.
If you care about the environment, target the worst, least necessary things first. You don’t genuinely care about the environment though.
You got me, I don’t give a shit about the environment, unlike you, the biggest tree-hugger in the world.
Cars not only kill the planet, but they are erode society so they are far worse than cruise ships imo.
The same point where you are detained for kidnapping for forcing the other cars to stop in traffic.
Next time there is a jam, just throw everyone in jail for kidnapping each other.
The difference between a traffic jam and protestors blocking traffic is intent.
I take it none of you passed high school civics?
If you know there’s going to be a traffic jam at 5PM on the I-Fuckit, aggravated by your presence, is that not intent or, at the very least, gross negligence?
Is that the drivers’ fault, or the highway engineers’ fault? Why isn’t the highway designed to handle anticipated traffic?
At some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions.

At this point it’s clear you’re just trolling.
Because as numerous studies have proven, there is no road design for individual cars that alleviates traffic. Period. The design doesn’t exist. Actually addressing traffic would involve severely reducing car lanes and vastly expanding public transit.
Now, if you want to propose going after the car and oil companies that pushed car-centric development starting in the early 20th century and continued despite knowing climate change was real and that car centric development was a major contributor, I’m sure everyone in this group will agree with you.
The guy who thinks being delayed by a protest is tantamount to kidnapping and murdering is casting aspersions on other’s education.
Nothing’s stopping a driver from getting out of their car and walking away. So never.
So its robbery then.
So I ask again, did the protesters just steal a car?
…no. if you leave your car somewhere is it stolen?
If I leave my car somewhere because a group of people gave me no choice but to do so, yes it is stolen.
Are you planning to do this? Do I need to contact the authorities?
For kidnapping, the person would have to sequester you and not let you leave. For stealing, they would have to physically take you car. It would probably get towed but I’d hardly consider that stealing.
I get the point you’re trying to make but the way you are going about it is kind of silly.
It’s also important to note that blocking traffic is a form of peaceful protest. If our politicians would listen to strongly worded letters or what the population wants, they wouldn’t be needed.
Stop being part of the problem. Learn what’s in your best interest and stop being easily manipulated. Like how often do you get caught in traffic because of a protest? I bet it hasn’t even happened to you but the media told you to be mad about it so you are.
You’re in c/fuckcars buddy. Read the room.
Or when is blocking an ambulance murder?
Never
