Reposted by AlexGravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 13/04/2026If you watch a lot of local TV news in the morning like I do, you really see how traffic violence is background noise in our daily lives. Crashes in the traffic report, stories about pedestrians being hit, cars into buildings, road rage. The danger on our roads is a constant feature. 138652

Reposted by AlexGravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 31/10/2025It's not that every individual driver is a murderous asshole (I'm not!). It's that car dependency as a whole is dangerous. It's that cars are deadly when they hit people. It's that our society prioritizes drivers above all else. It's about a system that is dangerous for anyone not in a car. 931055
