    “Let’s just fine the guy about a million dollars and make him unable to get to work for the next ten years because he hit the tree with his side mirror”

    You’re fucking unhinged if you think that’s even remotely a reasonable take. I get this community is about decreasing our reliance on cars but that doesn’t give you a pass to be an insufferable piss baby when you get upset about something.

    That driver isn’t single-handedly responsible for our car dependent society, so stop acting like they are and direct your frustrations somewhere more healthy.

      There’s a reasonable point in here somewhere, but you’ve ruined it somewhat by being unable to engage in reasonable discourse. Dial back the adolescent insults and you might find people give a little more respect to your opinion, and maybe we’ll all learn something.

        Exactly my point for downvoting them. Make an argument, but better take your anger out of it and try to avoid making assumptions - you don’t know if OP-commenter really thinks that this is a reasonable take or an exaggeration to make a point about car-brains getting away with stuff.

        The comment I replied to wasn’t “engaging in reasonable discourse” either. You’re right that it was inappropriate to call the commenter a piss baby, but I didn’t have any expectation of a conversation either.

      I think we shouldn’t justify antisocial behaviour.
      Now,to who the fuck thought drive through sequoias were a good idea?
