Greater Manchester Police insists “thorough investigation” conducted, but cyclist left questioning lack of prosecution for motorist who cut corner at junction, knocking her off bike, before leaving victim injured in the road
This is more of a Fuck the Cops problem than with cars though. Cars are at least useful.
Cars are useful in rural areas, absolutely, but cities should primary be built as walkable communities connected by trams, trains, buses and bike paths.
Car dependency is completely unsustainable in the same way that flying your car off a cliff is a flight that cannot be sustained.
A lot of smaller towns have a downtown area that could also pretty easily be served by public transit.
In fact, that’s how a lot of the towns became towns, they were adjacent to the rail lines.
That’s nonsense, cars will always be useful in both rural areas and cities. Goods and services must be delivered to their destinations at a scale and granularity that trains and bikes simply can’t attain. Your whole anti-car movement amounts to tilting at windmills.
I mean, the idea is that we also change our logistics and infrastructure. We’ve done that before, and trains did come before cars. Personally I don’t think we’ll get rid of cars entirely, but we can certainly reduce the amount we use if we make some sensible changes.
ACAB and cars suck
