Reply to comment by SnottNormal in MULTIPLE PEDESTRIANS STRUCK BY U-HAUL TRUCK IN BAY RIDGE, BROOKLYN by Darth_Monkey
Don’t think this falls under “car culture”. Dude is clearly intentionally out to kill people.

So general car culture? The way people casually drive twice the speed limit and completely ignore pedestrians while making turns here is terrifying. It really feels like most drivers in this city don't care if they kill someone as long as they get where they want to go as fast as possible (which is a bit ironic because the subway is usually a lot faster anyway, but then they'd have to deal with other humans).

In Bay Ridge it seems like most people with cars just take off the mufflers and want to hear their engine make big vroom noises.

The infrastructure that allows for a driver to easily run over cyclists is car culture. A bike line with jersey barriers like the one in Queens Blvd would’ve prevented it.
