Not sure how I feel about that lawsuit; in Ontario (and I think a lot of other places) there is precedent that a venue can be liable for your actions after leaving if intoxication at that venue is a factor.

But lmao, of course it's London. That city is a benighted shithole and easily the most disgustingly car-centric place I've ever lived. She might have gotten a more serious sentence in Toronto, but London is not a city that fucks with drivers' rights, for any reason.

My standards are so low I was impressed she got hit with 3 years. Do you know if her license was suspended?

yes

it's called "public-private partnership"

It's van uber, so passengers might share with someone going in their same direction. It might be vanpool sometimes; that's how it's green. (Dead-head? What's that? Shut up. Stop being so negative. I'd expect something like that from you.)

instead of VC idiots powering the gig exploitation van by lighting imaginary money on fire, it's the government lighting taxes on fire

There's definitely been a feedback loop of people stopping their kids from walking because our roads are fundamentally unsafe for pedestrians (valid) and fewer pedestrians mean assholes have even less incentive to not show their asses driving anyway which makes the roads even more unsafe blah blah you get the idea.

I think this has been key to the bike friendliness (well...) of Copenhagen: the city has always (like since 1900) had a lot of bikes, so traffic has always had to deal with them, which has lead to almost all streets with real traffic having bike lanes and also drivers know they they have to pay attention to bikes or instantly become murderers.
Reversing that feedback loop so it's only cars seems bad.

I walk my kids to school every day and there's a school zone speed camera on the way.

literally every day I see someone zoom through at 40mph and rack up a $350 ticket.

I think a lot of people contest them and get them thrown out so they literally don't give a poo poo.

70% of truck owners frequently use their trucks for "pleasure driving" with another 20% who only do it occasionally. 90% of truck owners drive around for no purpose other than the joy of driving?!!?! i knew truck owners were deranged but that is some psycho poo poo.

it’s child endangerment to let them walk to school. after all; what if they get killed by an SUV? to be safe, you better drive them in an SUV to school instead. after all, it’s dangerous otherwise with all those predator cars out there

It will likely fall under similar rules if tested in court, provided it's done to a proper citizen like someone with wealth or badge, and not like an unhoused person or something.

Though I can imagine during a traffic stop the door taser getting activated and lol good luck.

if you're rich and sociopathic enough to drive one of these $285,000 paranoid fantasies, you can almost certainly get away with accidentally tasing a cop without doing jail time

Why would you put yourself through the sheer expense of buying and running something like an F-150 to drive two miles a day?

Bonus "I couldn't possibly walk - it's dangerous coz of all the trucks, idiot!" content too.
