If you're driving a car you have the obligation to drive safely, especially as it concerns to vulnerable road users. Shit infrastructure, that encourages dangerous situations, is something you should fight so driving isn't so stressfull, it's not an excuse for you to endanger other people.

I really wish this was the mindset of everyone on the road instead of maybe 10% tops

Seeing three accidents happen at one intersection over the span of an hour really gets you thinking about traffic safety and the need for improved infrastructure and public transportation

Something that happens three times an hour isn't an accident.

Well, yesn't. I mean yeah, really obviously a design fault, but the point I'm trying to get across is just because the designers fucked up doesn't mean that in everyone of those situations somebody else didn't.

What should change is the design, but until then, you best be fucking hyperaware

Categorically calling car crashes accidents is auto industry propaganda to absolve themselves and drivers of responsibility

I become a bit more the joker any time somebody crashes their car with no other people involved and says "I got into a car accident". No mfer you are the car accident
