Someone please make sure Elliot Page is ok.

Also, from the European Union's least road-safe country: fuck cars.

My favourite photo from the article.

Thankfully we see a good samaritain providing some aid to the casualty.

We also see a cop talking to the driver IN THE CAR. If someone was assaulted with a baseball bat, I would home the cop would take away the bat before talking to them.

How that driver is allowed to stay in the vehicle is assanine to me.

It’s frustrating that the trends are concerning, but there’s not a lot of information on what they should do about it, said Coun. Sam Austin (Dartmouth Centre).

Vision Zero would like a word. If we can't rely on cops to enforce speeding on our roads, then the roads should be designed to enforce it themselves. Narrowing streets, making them curvier, daylighting intersections, lowering speeds, modal filters is what they should do. Prioritizing funding for cycling upgrades and enhanced public transit so that people that shouldn't be in a car don't need to be.
