A second little girl died, from the same crash where that woman in her wankpanzer ran over a group of kids having a tea party in their school's grounds.
And STILL there are people more outraged when we call this road violence, than they are about the needless deaths of children
#RoadViolence #StopDeKindermoord

Following the tragic, utterly avoidable death of an 8yo girl, again I'll raise the fact that people will get borderline violently defensive of their wankpanzers, rather than accept the possibility that we need to reduce the size, weight and power of cars

One year ago this month, @tomflood came to #ChapelHillNC to share his incredible knowledge and insights on effective messaging about #RoadViolence with students, researchers, and public officials. This 2-way workshop, "Flipping the Script on Road Traffic Violence," was transformative.

@KellyKenoyer covered the event in an excellent tweet thread https://twitter.com/Kelly_Kenoyer/status/1517593066990936066 and an even more excellent podcast: https://www.whqr.org/show/the-newsroom/2022-06-03/the-newsroom-whats-killing-wilmingtons-pedestrians.

I'm still in awe.

Tell me again about that time you saw a cyclist roll through a stop sign though.

"I didn't come near you", he said, even after I told him I had him on camera

Watch this by @tomflood A powerful indictment of how much we tolerate #Motonormativity as a society despite the harm that #RoadViolence causes, of what can be achieved when we put our minds to it. Yet many cities, including the one I live in, can't even put in a km of #BikeLanes to make it safe for kids to #cycle to school.

@DrTCombs @tomflood I agree - excellent stuff Tom! You both need an invite to speak on the @TheWarOnCars podcast! #TheChoiceIsOurs #RoadViolence

Perhaps we should stop all new road building until drivers learn to behave responsibly. #RoadViolence

The government acknowledges that driving is a free-for-all. Drivers know they can ignore road traffic laws because there is no enforcement. Reporting hitting a cat would add yet another law to the pile of laws drivers already ignore , e.g., speeding, having a licence and insurance, staying at the scene of a collision, mobile phone use, etc.

Beyond the valid remark below, it's quite ironic that there's a content warning on the video when everyone can see #RoadViolence of this kind with their own eyes every day.

RT @JackMaizels@twitter.com

.@BBCNews@twitter.com *please* can you fix this article? Scores of drivers speeding over a zebra crossing and hitting people with their cars shouldn't be described as "accidents" as though there were unavoidable. These are basic rules of the road!

A question I submitted to this week's Joint Policing Committee regarding speeding in the county (DMR East Garda District ~ Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown).

The reply shows that just over half of all speeding fines issued by Gardai are on 50kph roads.

Overall, 4,000 speeding fines are 4,000 too many.

The senseless avoidable killings continue. Another victim of #RoadViolence.
