Quite, I never have and never will see the need for an SUV. They should be banned.

Oh right, that's cleared that up. Twitter has lots of shite posted so you thought it appropriate to randomly post shite on this message board. What a strange thing to do.
Who's the dick? Yep, abundantly clear.

World records hottest day for third time in a week
One group of scientists reported a third global high calculated with satellites and computer models.

We have more gears on our bikes, they only need 3
Something that on average happens once a week along with 30+ serious injuries, due to the drivers of vehicles.
A high percentage of these KSI's happens within 500 metres of a school.
Rather begging the question when can we talk about the toxicity and trauma that surrounds our car dependency?

This one is so bizarre when you know the road/area. Camp Road is a small road, a little circular route on the edge of the common. Parked cars meaning it is always slow to get around. To build up any speed there is nigh on impossible, certainly terminally stupid. The school is on a sharp corner too, so naturally slows people down, even twats in 4x4s.
Some daft bint in a land rover drove into me on that road last year, after dropping off at the school. Typical slow motion incident with folk not knowing how big their tractor is. There's plenty of that type of car and driver there. This incident though, I can't understand how it's even possible.
Dangerous driving, collided with a building etc etc don't explain this at all. She must have completely lost her mind. Such a strange and sad incident. Presume the woman is as posh as the car, and white, given the absence of media references to terrorism.
Sounds like the sort of road that cars shouldn't be anywhere near.
It seems incredibly unlikely but perhaps if this was taken seriously by the court, local government, planning, schools and parents, Selena Lau might be alive today.

we've got gears now
And electric motors.
By way of edging us nearer to the thread title and away from this week's driver related child death (ok so I need to still try a little harder) has anyone seen the latest Clarkson TopGear, on Prime?
May turns up in a 1940's American car created and sold by the owner of a refrigerator store.
The car in question looked exactly like a car created and sold by the owner of a refrigerator store, it's main USP was it couldn't be any wider than 4ft so it could be pushed in through the front door.
The car is basically the same as the new teeny tiny Citroen and Fiat just 80 years earlier.
Naturally this car is completely at odds with 21st century driving and comedy hijinx ensues.
For this bit I'm going to need a time machine - preferably the upholstered high backed chair varity, not the sports car.
Imagine the intervening 80 years had been spent developing the 'fridge on wheels', instead of creating a house on wheels.
I can't think of a single aspect of modern day life that wouldn't be improved by challenging the car industry to convince us 'small is good'.

Absolutely everything that's wrong about our car dependency beautifully summed up in less than 2 minutes of glorious hypocrisy.

I know, you wouldn’t think so though.
How does 'out by Christmas' sound to you?
Milkman weeks away from retiring dies after being hit by learner driver on phone
Milkman Roger Parris was weeks away from his planned retirement when he was hit from behind as he rode his bike to work by Ravi Singh-Ratthore, who has been jailedwww.mirror.co.uk
Driving at 18mph above the limit and on the phone, taking a life, that’s manslaughter in normal life.
Gets away with some minuscule time inside, effectively just months, because of the tradition …. it was just a motoring offence. The 1.5T tin can, a get out of proper jail term card.
Irrational, inequitable, disgraceful.

Another one, which should be front page news, but won't be because children critically injured by car drivers isn't 'news'
Halifax crash: Girl, 9, critically injured after being hit by car
The child was crossing a road with an adult in Halifax when she was struck by a car, police say.

We’ve probably discussed this before … what can change this from happening?
I can’t think of anything proactive, the x percent of scum who don’t care about their fellow man/woman/child, will always be that way.
I can only think of mandatory sentencing (time served) akin to the worst manslaughter offences. If more serious eg driving dangerously at high speed and/or under drugs whilst people are about and killing someone, then sentencing similar to non-pre med murder. Even thicko’s are affected by deterrents, it keeps a lid on society.
