"This is why we don't need #US #cars in #Europe"
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
We don't need this shit in the US, either. I hope that tram just rammed the fucker.
I hope the city seized the truck, auctioned it off, and fined the owner for littering.
More like melted it down for scrap
and turned it into a new tram (because it's almost the same size as the fkn tram)
I don't think we necessarily need to melt down the owner...
I know we're being hyperbolic here but hard disagree -- how awful would that be for everyone on-board? And absolutely not worth the damage to public infrastructure. There's an established procedure for dealing with blockages, and I hope that process irreparably damages the truck and results in a hefty fine for the owner
Not great for adjacent vehicles either
Yeah exactly. Even in jest I loathe this unquestioned impulse to punish the offender without any thought to collateral. This driver's primary offense is being oblivious to their impact on others -- what message is sent if the reaction is just as oblivious?
Okay I'm done policing morals.
I hope too. But because the news headline would be "Dodge Rammed"
Driver comes running over to move the car just in time… “Ram Dodged”
The Most Holy Ram Dodge
