EPISODE 170: A Doctor’s View of Traffic Violence

#TheWaronCars: A Doctor's View of #TrafficViolence

A few months ago, I was hit by a car while riding my #bike and experienced the physical and mental consequences. I think it’s worth listening to this episode.

I knew that cars were really bad for everyone, but this video shows that I’d seriously underestimated the actual and extensive harm they cause. Please watch.

Not Just Bikes — Every Reason to Hate Cars "While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it." This video is a summary of all the ways that cars harm cities, the environment, and people’s lives.

I've been waiting for a good video like this that covers off all reasons why cars suck. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zak reading “Life After Cars” on the bus.

Did y’all know the bus goes to the library? #lifeaftercars #thewaroncars

Cargo bike with rain canopy, filled with groceries, rain, stroad, lighter traffic than on a nice day, no leaves on the trees yet, grey sky, no mountain.

No. I even got slightly damp.

‘It’s Just Crazy’: High Car Payments Make Ownership Feel Impossible

Looks like the cars are leading #thewaroncars www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/b...

Talks about high car costs, including loans but no mention of car alternatives.

What does my country ask of me?

If you are a driver, this. At minimum this. They cover it pretty explicitly in the handbook.

This is superb.
One mans journey from being a car enthusiast to being a car skeptic.
“If you want to continue to think of yourself as a grown man you can’t just love cars anymore, like a child.”

My aunt is ok. She’s just waiting at this point.

After that, my first reaction is fuck cars and fuck this rat race that makes our vanishing time blind us from the community around us

The second is that despite all the amazing work Mayor Hidalgo did, the war on car (dependency) in Paris has not […]

My great aunt, 84, got hit by a car in Paris. The accident broke her hip, she is now waiting for hip replacement surgery.

It was a slow speed accident, a taxi didn’t look as it backed up into her while she was casually crossing a small Montmartre street.

Carbrain would lead you to believe Jeeps are the opposite of Subarus. They both operate in the same paradigm, and therefore cannot be in opposition. #fuckcars #thewaroncars

NBC's Steve Schlanger mentioning #NASCAR so many times during today's men's Olympic 50km Nordic race that I'd be completely blotto if it was a drinking game.

AI for good, apparently. I came across this post having just started reading 'Life After Cars' by the creators of the #thewaroncars podcast. Fitting I suppose.

Life After Cars. The first hardcover book I've picked up to read in years, and it's well worth it. #thewaroncars

Tonight’s feature presentation! #thewaroncars

The war on the cars, a limited time offer.

Unlike the real war on pedestrians/cyclists which is prepetual.

EXTRA: Cars as a Virus with Hermann Knoflacher final web transcript – The War on Cars

Happiness is... not needing a car Image of Snoopy and Woodstock taking a walk

The more I think about it, the less I need a car, and the less car-centric a place is, the happier I am.

Even cities as auto dependent as Columbus can imagine ‘Life After Cars’ – Matter News There’s certainly some irony in a visit from ‘The War on Cars’ podcast hosts Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon being canceled by a Level 3 snow emergency that prevented drivers from taking to the road on Sunday.

The "god" of Urbanism & planning and all transportation issues is #hermannknoflacher, whose book "Virus Auto" is unfortunately /of course not available in English / I could recommend him to #thewaroncars though: thewaroncars.org/extra-cars-a... #carsasavirus

First commute on my new e-bike. Watched a bin lorry go through (what we call in German) "dark amber", to be followed by a car on red. In a yellow box (that's a "don't enter" zone at a crossing here in UK & NI).

I guess I'm somehow part of the problem. I'm sure it'll come to me.
