Maybe people exiting the parking areas are distracted trying to figure out which way to go instead of paying attention to traffic.

I went through the list and looked at the intersections. Unsurprisingly they are all busy intersections with a stroad. It's either a stroad and road intersection or an intersection between 2 stroads. The only one I couldn't puzzle out is #2 Bissonnet Street and Westchester Avenue. Bissonet is a stroad, but it's not a big intersection. There are 2 churches near the intersection, so maybe the crashes are happening after Sunday service? Top 10 Houston intersections with the most crashes for March 2021 through Feb. 2022

US 1 & 9 in New Jersey are insanely dangerous and I'm not surprised that 5 of their intersections made the list. both car accidents I've had were in NJ, the worst one occurring on US-1 in Metuchen. (rear ended)

Pryor on Fire posted:I met and chatted up a florist today and asked her about the business, she said that after birthdays most of the flowers are for motorcycle accidents. I thought she was loving with me at first but nope, she said they send tons of flowers to hospitals and funeral homes for motorcycle crash victims, it's a steady stream all day every day. A couple hours later I watched a Prius slam into a dude on a Harley. I literally screamed out "are you loving making GBS threads me!?!" it was some real lmao poo poo. there’s a reason why my medical friends call them donor cycles

This is how you pack a bunch of bikes in the back so you can drive your buddies to the top of a hill and ride down without having to pedal too much In popular riding areas there are companies that you can pay to do this for you

Hybrid cars like the Prius are just a generator and a battery, that's the hybrid

Diesel electric hybrids are used on mega vehicles that need huge amounts of torque mostly, aren't they?

There's also regenerative braking I think

Actually so here's something fun about engines that I've learned recently: Back in the late 1800s early 1900s all the farmers and woodlot owners had steam powered saw mills and caused wildfires all the time. The early combustion hit and miss engines actually put an end to it by providing a "safer" energy source.
