I guess I was wrong.
Who is TJ's successor?
Everyone is responsible for the safety of all other road users.
Not rocket science, but I've not killed anyone yet, or been killed by them.
It's just a well worn point, that's all. Although to be fair, it's a US article and the situation there is much worse. I read something interesting a few years ago suggesting car companies lobbied for measures to promote car dependency in thebUS, jay-walking laws being an example of the kind of thing this guy is complaining about. Cars dangerous? Get rid of the peds!
Interesting enough. Its a pernicious thing though and it starts with those ****ing stickers...
On the positive front, for the first time I can remember, cycling is on the increase in the UK and the anti-car debate is more lively than I can ever remember it. There does seem to finally be a national conversation about how anti-social, anti-social driving is... Social Media helping a lot IMO
So hopefully between now and self-driving cars becoming the dominant means of motorised personal transport (10-20 years?), the tide will continue to slowly turn against the status quo.
