Can cars ever be trusted?

"Any person caught sniffing the rest of the exercise bike in the ladies gym will be imprisoned without trial."

Doesn't seem very relevant to me.

Is that sniffing with malice of forethought ?

Can't trust electric cars says the Guardian. Those thuggy vehicles keep hitting pedestrians, apparently.

Wisely, no comments section for the fuelled trolls.

Of course, but the people to say that to are the motorists, preaching to the converted on here achieves nothing. I've made that argument more times than I could count, but to the anti-cycling motorists on Twitter, and usually with no support from other cyclists.

The motoring trolls (both amateur and paid) are far more numerous than the cyclists on Twitter, but there are quite a few saying sensible things on this topic e.g.

There are plenty of cyclists on Twitter, they just all think I'm a troll because I don't support cycle paths and question their assertion that cycling is zero CO2.

It's a good place for tackling the motorists though.

The mere fact that in 2022, 1,695 deaths & 136,002 injuries on Britain's roads has become just 'another statistic', whereas when when a cyclist is responsible for the death of a pedestrian is front page news really says it all.

If 4 or 5 airliners crashed and caused 1695 deaths each year in the UK there would be outrage.

Precisely my point - !
Because of the long term love affair with cars etc., the world has become indifferent to the negative side of them.

Got too used to doing things the easy way.

Can cars be trusted------------------------never. Especially when driven with someone on their smart phone.

You can trust cars but not the driver that is behind the controls.

Can you trust that brick 4th row up 10 bricks from the right in your house? Can you trust that cuckoo clock? How about trust that bike? Can you trust any non-sentient, non- living item? Come on people! It's not the car it's the driver you trust or not. You cannot trust an inanimate object that cannot operate on it's own.

If you keep going along this way you might be creating an argument for repealing motoring laws against drivers and applying them to cars. Sending them to car jail! It's not the driver but the car that's not trusted / done the motoring offence!
