This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
Without normalizing for the number of these vehicles on the road this data is not meaningful. No matter how much I appreciate the depiction of cars as murder machines.
There were zero children killed by Titan submarines in the last twenty years, we should clearly take inspiration from this beacon of safety!
Thank you! Simply attacking a mode without weighing the number of users using that mode gives us a chart that shows the most-used mode.
Similar to a map of heart attack deaths that shows most happen in New York, California, and Texas.
Also splitting cars in group like SUVs, pickup trucks and small cars is important when it comes to murder on the road
I want to know the story about how two pedestians bumping into each other lead to the death of one.
A child runs out from behind a car directly into the path of Usain Bolt thus replicating the opening scene of The Boys.
Edit: Actually I misremembered, the opening scene is Homelander and Maeve. I'm talking Hughie's girlfriend having a run in with A-Train.
Probably the child bump into an adult, fell to the ground and hit his/her skull too hard.
If that's true, that's just sad.
Wait, a pedestrian-child collision resulted in a fatality? How hard was the guy's stride?
Also, holy shit a child is more likely to die from a collision in a car than walking?!
Also also, this data is from 2020, during the pandemic when a lot of people were isolating and not going out. One can only imagine that the typical numbers are much higher.
How hard is it to provide safe buses for young folks.
We don't even have schoolbus service for a ton of schools where I live.
Where do I find the source and the chart that sums up total fatalities?
I would look up the source of this chart and then look at their source data
It's sources all the way down!
Hold my car, I'm going on.
There was a death from a child colliding with another child? Am I reading that correctly?
You are not.
A child died from a collision with a pedestrian, but the age of the pedestrian is unspecified.
This data can equally be read as "there are a lot more cars than pedestrian/cyclists/moped/etc and if we increase those numbers, the deaths will likewise increase there"
No one died on a school bus ever? Hard to believe.
It's data from the EU, school busses are less common here. Also, there are 3 deaths for children in busses in het last column.
