I had a coworker who had been with the astronomy dept for 50 years, and biked to work every day.

He took care of his grandson (down's syndrome) and his wife (cancer) for years, all while biking to work 15 miles every day. He was in his mid 80s.

He got run over and killed last week because someone ran a red light (not him!)

I don't give a gently caress about this LOL YEAH FUNNY AND EDGY IM GAY new GBS bullshit when it comes to this topic. gently caress you if you think driving your car in an unsafe manner is at all funny, you're a goddamned rear end in a top hat and you should know it.

A concerning amount of Americans believe murder is acceptable as long as you do it from behind the wheel of a car. It's even backed up by our justice system. Just look at the number of cases where a negligent or homicidal driver runs over a pedestrian and their only punishment is a moving violation.

that's true tho

one of my friends was driving her car and I was sitting in it and she was driving like a teenager and I said 'bro... why you gotta drive like this?' and she said 'bc it's fun!' and I decided not to get in her car anymore.

that's not really dangerous getting clipped by a passing car is really unlikely.

whats going to kill you is someone not looking at a junction.
