Have you notice how the general opinion is that people getting hit by cars somehow deserved it? My best friend was hit by a text-and-drive kindof woman. He was an athlete and now he can’t walk more than a few hundred meters.

    Yeah yeah I get it. You do not want to see the problem, so there is no problem. Again, I guess my friends getting hit by car, or the several attack I personally had been subjected too for cycling too slow or crossing the street counts for nothing.

      No it doesn’t count for nothing, and I’m sorry you and your friends went through that. But if people blamed you when the drivers were clearly in the wrong, that takes a special kind of being an asshole that the average person just isn’t.

        Not sure. Like yeah ramming into someone intentionally is not the norm, you are right. But I have seen most of my friend and family being negligent on the road as well. It’s a norm here.
