@TheZeldaZone@mastodon.socialOkay I'm "Only" out $750 for service + battery and I'm taking this huge list of stuff to a cheaper dealer. Probably still $1000+ total but the prices at this shop are nuts, everyone agrees I can get it cheaper.
Not great but...better. #FuckCars
A third of Americans don't drive. So why is our transportation so car-centric?
lemmy.worldA third of Americans don't drive. So why is our transportation so car-centric? - Lemmy.WorldAccording to the U.S. Department of Transportation, approximately one-third of
the nation’s residents don’t have driver’s licenses. In her 2024 book “When
Driving is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency,” disability
advocate Anna Zivarts argues that not only is America’s car-centric
infrastructure harmful to the climate, it also fails to meet the everyday needs
of many Americans.
@TheZeldaZone@mastodon.socialCar still "charging" according to the trickle charger, over 24 hours. Too spooked to try it rn but getting worried again. Surely going to eat a $500+ bill if I have to have it towed and looked at professionally.
Pissed there was no "low battery" signal. Never got the low tire pressure warning either--you pay EXTRA for those pieces of shit to be put in tires too apparently.
They're about to block cars from more than 500 new streets in Paris. Fuck yeah.

It shouldn't just be a speed limit sign on the road. Cars should have speed limiters built into them that prevent people from driving faster than 20mph. Once that happens, car manufacturers won't have an incentive to make cars as large and heavy as they are. Cars will get smaller, lighter, cheaper, and more fuel efficient. They will be more like electric golf carts. #FuckCars
@kim_harding@mastodon.scotWales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?

Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority
Or astroturfing motor industry lobbyists...

It's funny how my first reaction to the cycling path being clearly marked as blocked because of roadworks is:
But can't I pass anyway?
sadly it seemed like this time it was really not a good idea.
@TheAuroraSentinel
They should charge people with murder when they accidentally kill with a car too.
Cars kill about as many people as guns per year in the USA and it's rare if a driver gets held responsible for it. Cars are dangerous and mishandling them kills people. Guns need tighter regulations but so do cars. #FuckCars #GunControl #BanGuns
@luckytran
I'm surprised they care. A single school shooting in Texas kills a lot more kids than measles and they don't give a shit about getting a dozen school shootings. Not to mention how many kids are killed by cars per year. Can't do anything to regulate guns or cars no matter how many people die. I doubt these idiots will vaccinate in relevant numbers. #BanGuns #FuckCars #Vaccines #MAGA #Idiocracy #Kakistocracy
@enobacon@urbanists.socialHB 3362 would create a 4% excise tax on car tires that would fund highway crossings for #wildlife, programs to expand rail and public #transit service, and efforts to reduce water #pollution from illegally discarded tires. Needs more supportive testimony to overcome the tire company #lobbyists. #pdxBikes #orPol #FuckCars #microPlastics #LesSchwab #Portland

This documentary covers the General Motors Streetcar Conspiracy. Automotive manufacturers, tire makers, and oil companies conspired to buy up and shut down public transportation in America.

@dutchbarracuda@mastodon.socialI've just applied for a library assistant position, and for some reason having a Driving License is a requirement of the job.
And I've noticed this more and more often, that being able to drive a car is becoming integral to jobs while we should be going in the opposite direction!
If public transport or cycling or walking isn't reliable enough to complete a job that by all rights shouldn't require a car, then that job needs to be completely reassessed.
@tagesschau
Racism and xenophobia have people chasing the wrong problem. Instead of worrying about where the driver came from, ask yourself why a driver can get access to pedestrians. Cars are the problem. How many people are killed by drivers every year in your country? Build guardrails. Restrict vehicle thoroughfares. Most neighborhoods should not be thoroughfares. #FuckCars #TrafficViolence #VehicularTerrorism #SafeStreets #Bollards #Racism #xenophobia

Just drove 6 hours between two good-sized US cities, and I'll never understand why Americans would rather go through that ordeal than build #publictransit.
