… and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?

    One of the problems of car centric society is that the process for licensing almost has to be too lenient, because it causes major issues with people not being able to get around unless almost everybody can get a license, which means that regardless of safety, the bar has to be set low.

      It’s absolutely this. Let’s say that you wanted to make sure this never happened again. You could use the Police playbook, “more training,” “better roads,” “more awareness,” "people centric design,"an unlimited number of buzzwords. But the only solution that would help is fewer cars and fewer roads for them. Non-car infrastructure must be developed, and unfortunately it IS zero-sum as space is finite and valuable.
