@MrLee @mjc0961 And yes, I do blame the #EPA as well as generally lax #regulation in terms of #DrivingLicenses and the rampant existance of #HitAndRun accidents in the #USA, which are mostly unknown in the #EU or at least in #Germany in comparison to that...

To be that sounds like a cry for help amidst the #MotorizedViilence being normalized.

"Pedestrians are more than five times more likely to die on roads in the NT than in other states and territories, and 87 per cent of pedestrians killed in the NT since 2012 were Indigenous. The NT government says a new road safety strategy will tackle the deaths of Indigenous pedestrian."

Now dirt bikes get into hit and run too...
A cyclist received serious injuries after she was run over by a dirt bike on a public path.
"Two dirt bikes came flying around the bend, travelling at least at 60 kilometres per hour."

40-year-old Dandenong woman arrested after Melbourne hit-and-run with cyclist captured on dashcam footage - ABC News. #cycling #crime #DangerousDriving #Melbourne #HitAndRun https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-17/melbourne-cyclist-hit-run-woman-arrested-dashcam-footage/102230172

#HitAndRun for #life on this planet: On busy #migration nights, just a few cars are a potential threat to the long-term #survival of #amphibian #populations. Spotted #salamanders in Massachusetts could face local #extinction if more than 10 percent were squashed by cars. #California #newts at one key road crossing had a #MortalityRate of nearly 40 percent.

Many hit-and-runs continue to occur in San Francisco. With only three weeks into 2023, three people have already lost their lives.

“It’s happening so quickly, the driver’s out of there so fast, the witnesses can’t keep up with what’s happened,. . . Most people never get the whole story and no one is ever held accountable.”

1. They are sometimes considered one by some absurd & postfactual judges in Germany...

Personally, I think they are a necessary #SelfDefense against #HitAndRun accidents and #MotorizedViolence in traffic - everyone should have them.

2. Amazon doing illegal use of said data is pretty obvious - they sell the products and services at a gross loss, so they've to #monetize it elsewhere...

In May last year, Tamara Dean was hit with an #SUV in Minneapolis, the driver of which left the scene.

This is her account of her recovery from broken bones and a brain injury and an exploration of why it’s so hard to get drivers to slow down in the US.

#Bicycle accident happened Sunday, July 3, around 11AM.

Caucasian family of 3 riding in #Marikina to #QuezonCity #MetroManila #Philippines #HitAndRun The young son caused a lady biker to crash -- she was sent flying off her bike and hit her head, was unconscious, and the reckless monsters just abandoned her! 😡

They didn't have the heart or decency to stay to check that she'd be fine and pay to cover her medical bills and bicycle repairs!

Monsters!! 😡
