#CarBrain is a pernicious disease and so many examples of systems failing here. Lack of enforcement, much entitlement & likely a lack of alternative options for people when car use not an option. Wild! #CarCult

A cartoon image in the style of an advert for a SUV. The SUV is driving on a stretch of grey tarmac with a cloudy blue sky in the background. There is a child's face contained in a bubble with an arrow pointing into the SUV. The body of another child is under the wheels of the SUV, covered in blood. The black uppercase text reads "Keep your child safe and uncrushed inside a brand-new child-crushing machine". A line underneath in lowercase says "Pedestrians hit by a SUV are are twice as likely to die than when hit by a normal car". There is a small image of a SUV in the bottom right corner with the letters "SUV" underneath in the style of a company logo. The cartoon is by Darren Cullen from www.spellingmistakescostlives.com
Well summed up by @darrencullen.bsky.social however, which I share a lot b/c the attitude you describe shocks me too! #CarBrain #CarCult

If you need a concrete example of what #CarBrain looks like, here's an example - privileging drivers at the expense of kids walking or wheeling to school. It's as disingenuous as blaming bike lanes for congestion when the real reason is too many cars with only one person in them #CarCult

A screenshot from the other place (X-crement) where Andy Flllmore, while with the federal government, gives a shout-out in.a tweet to the Institute of Transportation Engineers for a presentation on active transportation. In it he says "Headliners were inaccessibility, equity and the need to prioritize humans over car culture on our communities' streets. We've made good progress but more to do!" There are images of a pie chart, a count relating to demographics of people cycling as part of a count on the Counterpoint app, and the mobility pyramid included in the image along with three speakers which includes Any Fillmore. The tweet shared by Andy Fillmore is quoted by the Counterpoint app folks who say "An equity conversation making it's way through all levels of leadership from (checks notes)... last week. Create a counterpoint, create a baseline, and share that story and those results quickly to those making decisions." The link to the counterpoint app (www.counterpointapp.org) is also provided.
The great thing about the internet is there are always receipts. Here's Mayor Fillmore in 2021 talking about "inaccessibility, equity & the need to prioritize humans over car culture on our communities' streets" Via @counterpointapp.org from the other place. What changed? #ZeroVisionHFX #CarCult

Cars parked on the pavement (sidewalk) in the UK used to wind me up so much (still does!). Then I moved to a country (Canada) that didn't even have them on many streets, particularly in the suburbs or rural areas 🤦 #CarCult

Took a listen to this on my walk around my own town this morning. This stuck with me - any other consumer product causing the harms to those who use or interact with it that cars cause would be banned or severely restricted. Instead we restrict our kids. Great discussion! #CarCult

Five people dead over the weekend, thousands lose power overnight, another collision on the Mackay bridge this mornng that may end up being a fatality if it is a motorcyclist as runoured. No better illustration of the death & destruction that cars cause & how dearly they cost us #CarCult #CarBrain

Driving cars everywhere. We need more trains. Also paying traffic engineers.

So I tried to make eye contact with the driver edging towards me as I was legally crossing the street but... she was looking at her phone 🙄 #SafeStreets #CarCult

What a powerful story and how tragic that so many more have lost their lives under the wheels of the most harmful transportation mode we could possibly have prioritized #CarCult #SafeStreets

"Living your life on Hampton Green remains cancelled for safety reasons. You think you are starting to understand why people in suburbs are so lonely". The first place we lived when we moved to Canada and @landofsticks.bsky.social nails it! We moved. #CarCult www.thecoast.ca/news-opinion...
