Get the orange cones out there, tear up half of the freeway, and *then* ask for more funding.

@Andres4NY Oh no! Hope she makes a full recovery 
And yup, #BanCars
My kids' babysitter got hit by a car today. We think she's okay (she went to the hospital), but yeah- #FuckCars #BanCars. If you're having trouble getting federal funds for the subway NY, there's still too many cars in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Expand that congestion pricing zone and raise the price!

Oxford Clarion · Citizens’ Assembly votes for “a car-free city centre”An assembly of Oxfordshire citizens has overwhelmingly supported making the city centre car-free and turning some existing roads over to buses, cyclists and Blue Badge holders.
Together with housing being built close to key facilities, rural greenways, and using funds from a Workplace Parking Levy to improve city transport, these
Person went to rant to me about delivery bikes taking up all the footpath.
When he's like they should charge them by the square metre or just outright ban them, I'm like "yeah, they should ban on street parking too".
He shut up after that xD #BikeTooter #bancars #melbourne #bikes
#Oxford Mail moans that "only the wealthy can afford to park". They do have a point - #parking charges should increase with the size and value of the vehicle, so even the wealthy have to think twice about clogging the city with their vehicles ... I'm sure that in this day and age a dynamic pricing can easily be arranged. #sustainability #planning #banSUVs #banCars

@ColesStreetPothole oh no! Glad you're OK. And #BanCars
As I wrestle once again with the annual agony of getting the car MOT’d and serviced (made worse by trying a new garage who’ve turned out to be useless so I will get to do some of it again next week at my usual place), and look at the insurance renewal that has just come through and while lower than last year is painful, I would really really like it if society would stop forcing me to own the bloody thing.

Dîtes, @ledevoir regardez, d'autres médias nomment bien les choses dans leur titre 
Et si vous voulez en savoir plus, intéressez-vous au traitement médiatique de la violence routière : https://larevuedesmedias.ina.fr/accidents-route-responsabilite-voiture-automobilistes-presse-regionale-journalistes
#BanCars #StopViolencesMotorisées
La Revue des MédiasDans les récits d'accidents de la route, « la voiture » est coupable« Une voiture folle », « la voiture a pris la fuite », « la voiture roulait trop vite »… Les articles consacrés aux délits routiers ont tendance à gommer la responsabilité des automobilistes. Des habitudes de langage, souvent présentes dans les titres, que certains répertorient méticuleusement afin de responsabiliser les conducteurs. Car « la voiture », souvent, n'y est pas pour grand chose.

On of my kid's teachers canceled a meeting with us today because his car wouldn't start in the cold. Cars, as always, remain incredibly stupid.
[edit: And I don't mean that he couldn't, like, drive to our silly little meeting or something. I mean that he actually had to take the day off of work because he couldn't drive to school.]
Would I Lie To You is back with a new season, and I was happy to hear in the first episode that David Mitchell does not drive a car!
I was really hoping he would say bicycle and walking when the little bit incredulous guest then asked how he gets around. Unfortunately he just had a joke answer (a funny one, but I wanted to know).
Possible new guest for @TheWarOnCars? :)
"Police said the thieves have been using stolen vehicles to break into businesses and remove ATMs, among other property. One such incident, captured on video on Dec. 23, involved the group forcibly entering a commercial property at 75-10 31 Ave. in Queens and fleeing with an ATM in an unknown direction. There have been no injuries reported in the incidents."

Periodically some people call for cyclists to pay “road tax” saying that they contribute to wear on the roads etc. so should pay towards maintenance.
As I understand it the amount of wear a vehicle causes varies based on the fourth power of the axle weight.
So if I’ve got my sums right, having a charge of a pound a month for a bicycle, and taxing motorists in direct proportion to difference in damage done to road could look something like this…
The amount of trouble people go through to try to stay safe while riding a bike in our absolutely stupid #transportation infrastructure, vs the amount of ease with which every single driver (yes all drivers) ruin your chances of being not "accidentally" killed... I think #BanCars is the only logical option now, given that we've tried absolutely nothing and it's not helping #VisionZero, #ClimateCrisis, #HousingCrisis. #LegalizeBikes
