Text from NY Times article: It was not immediately clear what had caused the accident, but the police said that Ms. Yarimi had a suspended license. The authorities said they were also investigating whether the speed of the vehicles had played a role in the collision, and whether Ms. Yarimi had run a red light or been drunk at the time.
@jessiesinger.bsky.social alert.
it's makes me think of the part in @jessiesinger.bsky.social's There Are No Accidents that highlights the differences in how safety is perceived by men and women, that women more accurately perceive their safety than men. And that becomes a problem when the systems are designed primarily by men.
As Donald Trump attempts to rebuild racist monuments throughout the country, let's look back at the racist monuments Bay Ridge residents have successfully exorcised... And learn how these "historic" sites were faked by racist assholes in the 1900s and 1950s.

This is actually amazing
This tech is actually required in all new EU vehicles now. Not the UK but maybe it'll trickle over?
This is pretty amazing. I wonder if there is any work that's pushing for this in Canada at a Provincial level? @visionzerovancouver.ca do you know?
I know legislation has not yet been introduce in MA, but they may be trying.
No kings only speed governors
🙏🏻 Lord I see what you’ve done for others… As it is in Virginia. AMEN.
didn't a similar bill pass in CA and then get vetoed by newsom?
A terrific thread from @jessiesinger.bsky.social about VA's new law. Important model for other states -- and demonstrates the power of working on state legislation. Give her VERY short thread a read!
Yes! Speed governors!
Whoot! #A2Council, let's do this!
LOVE THIS
that part
Very happy for Virginia, but would love these to get installed on Maryland cars by default, just to save some time
!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!
Families for Safe Streets chapters have similar laws introduced in seven states right now, including New York — so stay tuned.
And follow @fam4safestreets.bsky.social for updates on this nationwide campaign!
Four, this recognizes speeding as a danger equivalent to drunk driving and employs a solution as effective as breathalyzer interlocks.
Three, this limits interactions with police. As NHTSA’s William Haddon once said: “We’ve all been miseducated that the way to solve this problem is more squads of police chasing Americans so that they wouldn’t drive 120 mph, rather than arranging cars so they can’t go that fast.”
