Yep, young people on their phones are definitely the problem. Not dangerous drivers that kill thousands of people (mainly other drivers) each year. (infosec.pub)

Carbrain making things up again.

If there weren't cars in the cities, the worst thing a person with a phone could cause is bumbing into someone else at non-lethal speed.

If there weren't cars, there'd still be buses, vans, trucks.

There's a big difference between a constant stream of cars with noise from every direction, and the occasional delivery vehicle that you can hear coming.

You know those electric ones are quiet now, right ?

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, I have one.

Assuming no stream of load cars nearby, they are either loud enough to hear (tyre noise), or slow enough to not worry about.

I don't think most peoples' dreams of a walkable utopia include those things, but you make a good point.

No, it does. The notion that urbanists want to get rid of delivery vehicles is a strawman argument used to attack us.
