    Ok, but the main point is in the second sentence. I mean: the advice to not run down the kerb is something I say to my daughter, and i think it’s fine. The problem is where this comes from, the government who is shaking off responsibility for road safety by blaming vulnerable victims instead of working on the cause of danger (spoiler: cars, speed, drivers)

    Yes, because you accept that roads are dangerous because of cars.

    But who is giving this warning? The same institution that allowed the roads to become unsafe in the first place, and should protect vulnerable users instead of blaming them. This makes it victim blaming.

    Road is public space and it doesn’t make sense that so much of it is unsafe for people not in a metal cage. Do you see which community we are in, by the way?
