We just had a #historic, #DayAfterTomorrow-like #snowstorm, and now, just like clockwork, #airquality index has surged to 91 as #motorists hit the road again. I haven't seen any meaningful #environmental #reporting about either issue. #climate #brooklyn #cars #hollywood

In a society like that's arguably skewed to people, surely more punitive & measures are necessary to deal with callous repeat offenders?🤔

Repeat , among 20 motorists to be charged
"In the case of a second or subsequent conviction for drink driving, may be fined up to $20,000 & for up to two years. They may also face disqualification from driving all classes of vehicles"

Motorists and community expectations

"An obstetrician who was drunk when he killed a young woman and gravely injured a man in a crash in Perth. Rhys Bellinge was jailed for 10 years and six months after killing Elizabeth Pearce, 24, and causing lasting injuries to Uber driver Muhammad Usman, then 25, when his high-performance Jaguar ploughed into their Honda Jazz." >>

"Jake Danby hit two Aboriginal men with his car on a Darwin street, killing one and injuring the other. He was handed a 12-month community corrections order, with five months in home detention. Danby’s home detention was increased from five months to two years, as three court of criminal appeal judges upheld the application. Danby had bragged in text messages that the man he killed was an “oxygen thief” and he would not go to jail." >>

Hit and run motorists, pedestrians and the justice system

"Sentence extended but no jail for NT hit-and-run driver Jake Danby who called victims ‘oxygen thieves’. In June 2024, Jake Danby hit two Aboriginal men with his car on a Darwin street, killing one and injuring the other."

The "driver had bragged in text messages that the man he killed was an “oxygen thief” and he would not go to jail. He called it a “two for one combo” and texted it was “pretty funny watching them roll around on the road after going over my bonnet”.

"He was handed a 12-month community corrections order, with five months in home detention." >>

Now #local #elections are back on in my region, the #GreenParty really needs to step up its campaigning to avoid #Reform or worse fash parties gaining a further foothold.

Its not going to be easy as #Suffolk and #Essex are some of the most car-dependent parts of #England - Greens really need to fight back hard against paranoia and conspiracy theories levelled against them and reassure #motorists they are not going to force everyone out of their #cars if they still drive #petrol and #diesel vehicles and pick more realistic timescales for phaseout of these.

As much as I dislike "leaving things to the market", the reality is spare parts for older cars (15-20+ years) are getting hard to find anyway unless popular with enthusiasts, whilst EV's are steadily rising in popularity..

@tessarakt

That as well, but @cstross really is talking about the test that motorists have to pass.

It's in the theory test nowadays.

Last year 355 human beings were killed by the car-road complex in NSW.

"Australia’s 2025 road toll: NSW records highest number of deaths in eight years as fatalities rise nationwide. About two-thirds of road deaths in NSW last year (241) were in rural and regional areas. Cyclist deaths increased from five to 15, including three e-bike riders."

In #Czechia 🇨🇿 President #PetrPavel had to appoint a new government made up of #ANO, #SPD and the #Motorists: a coalition of populism, xenophobia and anti-green road rage.

He did try to defend democratic values and principles of good humanity, but in the end he had no choice but to watch them slip away.

And honestly, that’s the only place where “thank you for your service” doesn’t sound tragic.

Bellingen's 'vanishing' biodiversity

The 'upgrade' of Gleniffer Road and and Roses Rd. encourages motorists to drive as fast and careless as possible. Road signage is knocked down as no road is ever wide enough.

Biodiversity has to live in this fragmented space with speeding combustion boxes. All year around there are dead beings on the road that drivers kill and mush up.

Here are the latest killings in just a few days:

A large beautiful python on the middle of Roses Rd cut in half with one half missing
A freshwater turtle smeared along the road.
A stunning bright Green Tree Snake killed and tied into a knot.
Many birds along the roadside, crippled and enduring a slow death
No one counts the carnage.
