@BorgDrone @pbrisgreat Unfortunately no. In the United States the pedestrian or cyclist can be at fault (I, thankfully, don't live in the US but I lived there for a while and I noticed the laws are skewed towards cars).

@Zana @RGB3x3 It's quite funny how the whole premise of this sub/community is "it's insane that driving cars is the main option for transportation in many places, we should strive for our cities/countries to build other, better, more sane options" but there's always a comment in every post reminding us that there "aren't any other options."

@Blamemeta @diskmaster23 I was on a road trip recently. My country (not the United States) doesn't have functional trains. It took us six hours to get to another city that's 180 kilometers away. So much freedom...
