Carbrain is having your brother die in road violence and still complaining about speed limits
From this article about several cities lowering the speed limit of certain rods by 5mph.
This commenter always complains on any article about transportation.

I'm up to two family members lost in two different car crashes, every single one was not their fault. Another couple have been severely hurt in car on bike crashes. One of my kids has been hit twice while walking by giant SUVs that just didn't bother to stop for red lights, fortunately not seriously hurt (yet). I have been knocked over a couple of times off my bike by cars driving into the painted bike lane and backed into one time because they felt like driving their car backwards into a bike lane because fuck cyclists and their safety, right?
Fuck every car centric place on this planet. No argument you can make about why we should be continuing our destructive car centric infrastructure will gain any traction with me.
I'm sorry you've experienced so much harm because of cars. I don't understand how there's so much evidence showing how destructive cars are, and people still advocate for bigger cars and more lanes
I know someone that doesn't drive at all, he bikes everywhere even in -40 temps. And he still protests against public transport because "taxes bad". Some people will get halfway there and still not see what benefits there would be.
I don’t understand how there’s so much evidence showing how destructive cars are, and people still advocate for bigger cars and more lanes
Because it's easier to convince someone based on what they'll lose, rather than convince them of what they have to gain.
There are many fallacies at play when it comes to carbrain, but when you throw industry influence and political corruption into the mix, it only serves as fuel to continue this maddening dependency.
Carbrains seem to take every critique of our car centric society as a personal attack to the core of their identity.
It’s such a weird phenomenon that people can be presented information and data about how awful private vehicles are on so many levels, and yet people won’t change their habits. It does seem like people are unwilling to give up even the tiniest bit of convenience for their own sake (or at least the illusion of convenience).
