The_Caretaker<p>All cars should be banned, Short of that, cars should not be allowed on public roads without a speed restriction device on them that keeps them from going fast enough to kill people. The heavier your vehicle is, the slower it has to go to keep from gaining enough kinetic energy to kill people. Instead of a speed limit, there should be a kinetic energy limit. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckCars</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BanCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BanCars</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/29/four-dead-after-car-crashes-into-after-school-camp-in-us-state-of-illinois" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/29/f</span><span class="invisible">our-dead-after-car-crashes-into-after-school-camp-in-us-state-of-illinois</span></a></p>

OccasionalDucks<p>A thought about cars and power</p><p>The ownership and use of cars embodies one imbalance of power - that of the driver, armed and armoured by the mass, bulk, speed and noise of their vehicle, compared to the unarmed pedestrian or unprotected cyclist. It also necessitates the creation of another imbalance of power - the imposition of heavy handed and simplistic rules, oppressive bureaucracy, stringent enforcement and firm punishment, to balance and restrain the tendency for motorists to abuse their power. If the first power were not abused by some motorists, the second would not be pressed into being. Does the second power also promote the first, by creating a frame that encourages anything it does not forbid and leading those behind the wheel to probe every boundary before, emboldened, driving over it? If society could be inculcated to a mindset and attitude that would end abuse of the first power, such that the second could be done away with, would we drive differently or simply stop driving?</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transport</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TransportPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransportPlanning</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheWarOnCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWarOnCars</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BanCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BanCars</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://occasionalducks.com/2025/04/a-thought-about-cars-and-power" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">occasionalducks.com/2025/04/a-</span><span class="invisible">thought-about-cars-and-power</span></a></p>

For someone who often pootles along a little below the limit driving for economy, apparently I’m a “fast” driver!</p><p>But seriously, almost an hour a day spent on something I don’t even want.
