All good except one microquibble, for which I apologize.
Recommending "a car hit" language perpetuates the fiction that vehicles act alone & drivers are helpless passengers.

@softedge @dr2chase That's "crash", not "accident". https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/11/17/crash-not-accident-better-road-safety-reporting-could-save-lives-show-researchers/

@yunchtime "if split-second of distraction for human operators isn't bad enough, what about the programmed assumptions of an unfeeling machine at high speeds?" <- Brilliant. #DriverNotCar #CarCulture #driving #AV #TranspoTech #technology #auto

@softedge We need so much more rigorous training on operating those large, fast, deadly steel boxes. And even before that I'd like to have a system of "mobility education" (not driver's ed) that starts with walking, bicycling, taking transit. Teach carfree transportation independence FIRST. Those who do drive will be better drivers, more aware of the rest of us. #BikeTooter #CarCulture #DriverNotCar

Big proponent of #DriverNotCar, which gets more use at the bird site than here.
Credit where credit is due. Thank you for using #DriverNotCar. π

Then go find the instances where they reported that a cyclist, not a bicycle, did something bad.

Hear, hear. Over at the bird site, I am a frequent user of the #DriverNotCar hashtag. Haven't had the chance to use it here because there hasn't been a mass migration of reporters bringing that particular bad habit with them.
To help make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
