Thanos has a way to cut traffic accidents by more than half!
One way to improve safety would be better training of car drivers and possibly include other forms of motorized transportation. I'm not sure how regulated scooters are in BC.
lol I’m no statistician but I feel like a thanos snap would reduce car accidents by way more than half…it’s like that quirk about how you only need 23 people in a room for there to be a 50% chance two of them share a birthday!
Still, I expect that if the safe street folks had their way there’d be a lot less trauma than if thanos did.
Frankly, I’m a grouchy old man I guess because I hate the electric scooters. Get a bike! They’re way less dangerous because of the physics of falling down from one hahaha
She said she had her blinker on and signaled the turn. She has an interesting definition of "hit." The Kia driver hit her with this side of his car as she tried to turn.
Sounds like she turned into the car. So, she hit the car because the car made an unsafe and unexpected move.
