Nimbys and car centered people should be arrested for this stupid was of thinking.

I walk a lot.

As an Australian this is bonkers. We have to do 120hours learning, a hazard perception test, and a driving test with a professional instructor. Fines are seen as punishment and we have a points system for incidents. As a result, people use their indicators, follow the speed limit, and less people die. It’s not rocket science, it’s human lives.

The way I like to posit it: In America, do we have the worst drivers in the world? Absolutely no, not even close. But, do we have the worst drivers in the world relative to money invested in traffic education, infrastructure, and safety? Then the answer is arguably YES. (A study should be made, then we can do more about it.)

W vid man i never thought about this before, keep up the good work

Bro looks like a cartoon AI character😂😂

Along with speeding being normalized, anyone who doesn’t speed or thinks you shouldn’t speed is viewed as being a bad driver. The more you follow the prescribed rules of the road, the more villainized you will be by the majority of other drivers.

my neighborhood is so dead and i havent interacted with another person my age in about 3 years here, there are a ton of kids and teens that live here they just.... never come outside and its extremely lonely, its very upsetting cause i want to meet more people and do stuff in person cause i hate needing to do everything online, but its just kind of impossible

i'm from chicago moved to the suburbs and nobody does anything out here it's rare for something to happen and it's usually other people from the city planning stuff its dead

saying "Personal responsibility is the problem", and "Road safety isn't you're responsibility" in a video titled "bad driving has become normalized" is crazy work.

Ok, on the defense of getting rid of speed cameras. Most municipalities who installed them DO use them as a blatant cash grab. They way over calibrate the machines and it leads to thousands of false positives that the city makes thousands of dollars off of yearly. Not to mention, they make the process of fighting a false positive intentionally more expensive than just paying the ticket. I drove through Leon Valley TX and made a right turn on red (legal in the US and at this intersection, no cars around me to begin with) And i was ticketed 80 bucks for running a red light. The citys response after i emailed them for weeks was basically "Do you really think you can out spend us in court if youre fighting an 80 dollar ticket".

Me listening to this while going 10 over: 😟

30 seconds in and you’re already based

We need stricter punishments when breaking a driving law like aviation has. In aviation it’s like. “Oh you exceeded the speed limit? Can I see your license?” And then you never get it back.

My father has totaled multiple cars. He never puts his phone down while driving. "I'm experienced. I know what I'm doing" he says. Meanwhile the number of times we avoided a crash because I yell at him for something completely obvious is more than I can ever recall. I genuinely can't comprehend how he survived before smart phones were a thing.

Anyone else watching this when driving

Great video

Ye it's not so much dangerous here in UK it social media

I am really not a fan of the type of graph used at about 2:50. It starts at 3000 as the baseline instead of zero which I think might need to be labelled a bit more flashily because it does go against the conventional way of displaying graphs (outside of advertising because that's where ALMOST lying is the name of the game). Also, population EU vs USA might be additional valuable information because "EU" to some people just means "Europe" which has many more inhabitants than just the EU. I understand that it's just there to show the trends but it's still feeling somewhat off to me.

I really do not like driving. It’s stressful and if I had the choice, I would absolutely take public transit instead.

One of my school projects I chose was researching why suvs are such a terrible Idea, some of these cars are like 3 tons and are legitimately battering rams rather than having crumple zones, super unsafe for pedestrians, super unsafe for other cars, and super unsafe for the drivers

Bro u look ai generated I can't help it😭

I work pizza delivery in my county. Yesterday I watched two cars infront of me almost hit a firetruck TWICE because they couldn't be patient enough for the truck to fully do a U-Turn, not to mention the amount of people running red lights. It has gotten so bad that the other night I saw 6 people get pulled over in the span of 3 hours on the major road we use.

carless city centers are no witchery. There are many cities here in Germany who follow a car-hostile city planning and the magic spell is *Public Transit*. I usually avoid driving into cities with my car. I need it because I live in the countryside and for my job, but when travelling into a city I prefer using the train and then bus and tram. It's really simple once you stop listening to the automobile lobby.

kidnapping is extremely high in the Black commmunity.

I see why my parents never wanted to live in suburban neighborhoods now since I live in the considered back road side of town I don’t live near many house but still have access to sidewalks. And it feels more calmer where I live too due to there being a lot of nature around me

Now is it a good thing probably not. But i love how quickly someone is annoyed by shit they bring out their inner Philly and start breaking shit. My apartment complex has a gate they use to try and keep people out, but every time they fix it some university students who go to visit their friends get out and force the gate open breaking it for about 6 months.

kids are going to turn into blobs that watch shorts all day.

You can tell this guy loves taxes and would've wanted to put your family in a quarantine camp during covid if you didn't wear a mask

tell me why I got a car commercial while I was watching this

Gotta disagree about the effect congestion tolls will have on NYC. As someone who lives there, it’s far too dense for the $9/car toll to cause a legitimate reduction in vehicle traffic. And people that commute and regularly pay tolls on the bridges and tunnels make enough money that they’re just gonna eat the cost and not change their habits. Mark my words, in a year, downtown Manhattan is gonna be just as crowded and busy as ever.

The biggest issue with walking/riding around without a car is the crime. Walking around my city, you are constantly approached and talked to by all kinds of shady and ridiculous characters. Goes for many cities around the world

Lockdown started on my 16th so I've been unnable to learn how to drive, and still up to now the thoughts of learning are terrifying. I myself admit I am very accident prone and can be distracted and if that occurs anywhere on the road it could very well kill someone. It's muscle clenching fear and I wish I didn't have to eventually trust myself behind the wheel of a death machine.

A lady let her son walk to school and was arrested for neglect and endangerment.

that man complaining is so first world problems

Don't worry. You will love in a pod that's 15 mins from you state mandated job. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

People dont feel like cameras arw cash grabs - they absolutely are.

I personally think cars are the flaw

I live in the northeast, so I am close to European-esque towns and cities. It’s just really beneficial and there are a lot of things to do. Even though a lot of it costs money some things remain open and it’s really fun

I dont plan on having kids until I move to europe of many reasons and this is one of them

I see stupid driving all the time but have genuinely literally never seen ANY kind of enforcement of traffic laws. Really easy for everyone to suck at driving when everyone just gets away with it

Thanks for this amazing video

Bro rlly copy pasted a bunch of NOTJUSTBikes videos

A child under constant supervision, ends up being a worker who requires constant supervision. Who is to blame. 😊

Building in a planned way is a good thing. But building for cars is not.

It’s what happens when you 1) don’t invest in public transit 2) don’t require relicensing/testing (because there’s no alternative) 3) have all the major workplaces located in one location and have a work clock that dictates everyone move at the same time in the same direction 4) have cars that grow in size every year without fail, taking up more space and making accidents more likely to be fatal Also the US doesn’t even have the highest speed limits compared to other places, but I’m pretty sure we’re a lot worse off

People with egos refusing to zipper merge deserve to have their license revoked no bs

The problem isnt bad drivers, its driving. Humans should get around with trains for distance, and bikes for short range. We only are obsessed with cars in the US because rich business owners saw money to be made in convincing americans they should have personal car, and lobbying the government to invest in more expensive to maintain highways, rather than mass rail systems. Rail is the MOST efficient transportation of people AND goods by far and away. Americans hate trains here because they are crap compared to the rest of the world. If you want to save literal hundreds of thousands of lives, protect people from DUI litigation, eliminate all traffic, and allow more timely transport that isnt biased towards people with money- you rip up every road and build a robust rail system across the country. period.

One of my favorite places near my house is built for pedestrians. Trying to drive or park is a nightmare. Narrow winding roads, many crosswalks, outdoor restaurants, barriers to protect pedestrians, and basically no parking. It’s so nice walking around there. Also I’m a newer driver. Got my license 6 months ago. It amazes me how many people don’t follow the rules. I hate being in the car with my parents cause they speed and road rage. Wait until last minute to merge. AND WHY DONT PEOPLE USE BLINKERS

May I add: specifically the normalization of hitting large animals (usually dogs/deer/elk) as something that "happens to everyone eventually" is soooo made up and also is linked to the exact same driving-brain that gets a LOT of pedestrians (especially kids, or jaywalkers, or anybody not using the road in a way extremely easy to anticipate) hurt or killed Im not trying to be accusatory, because I think a lot of people were never explicitly told this, but you have GOT to remain attentive to the world beyond the white lines, both in terms of immediately looking for people/animals/things that might come into the road but ALSO keeping an eye out for settings or circumstances that might make them harder to spot or avoid, or more likely to be there in the first place. Anyways, do I think that it's impossible to hit a deer while being attentive and well-informed? No. Do I KNOW that those odds are a hell of a lot better than 2+ deer/yr, or even 1 deer/5yrs or 1 deer/10yrs? Yes. And just FYI that I did grow up on (and today frequently drive on) a highway with some of the highest game mortality rates in the country, like I promise that I and most people that I know have to react to game on the road semi-regularly.
