Imagine killing someone and getting away with it. Cars kill my people and then cases often go unsolved in the US. What’s the first step in ending this?

    Everyone knows what speed limits are and they’re enforced… but let’s be real: it’s viewed as an American right to drive as fast as you want when a police officer isn’t directly in your line of sight. I’m of the mind that it is necessary to to strip this right from drivers.

    Likewise for bicycle/pedestrian collisions, there’s gotta be a systematic change. What that is… I dunno!

      Imo speed limits are useless if roads are designed to accommodate higher speeds. If it feels comfortable to drive 50 mph people past a school people are gonna do that. Road diets and traffic calming please!!
