    The number of people killed while walking or riding in big cities has increased by almost a quarter since 2022

    Sure let’s blame cars and not ebikes and scooters being ridden by absolute fuckwits who ignore the law and end up dead.

    Not once has this been taken to an election across the country so it shouldn’t be implemented.

    Got to laugh at all the people who love democracy until it interferes with them bubble wrapping the world

        Likely a factor but the biggest jump in fatalities has been e-mobility users

      It’s not bubble wrapping, it’s called good design. Bad design, and unnecessarily large vehicles are the cause of pedestrian and cyclist deaths.

      Top-tier victim blaming from you, to suggest it’s just the people doing the wrong thing who are being killed.

        The jump in fatalities is literally NOT due to cars - though oversized yank tanks are a problem and should absolutely be banned here in Australia.

        The increase in fatalities is down to those poor victims who jumped on a scooter while drunk, ignored the helmet, ran a red light then failed to hop a curb and hit their empty fucking head on concrete and died.
