I don’t see it as ridiculing anyone. It’s criticising the system that created this mess.

Blaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.

I can tell you that it’s also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.

You don’t even need that many people before cars become impractical.

Speak for yourself. I’m not pulling this out of my arse, I’m telling you things I just happen to know.

A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day of travelling at higher speed.

This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.

It’s cheaper to run a high speed service than a low speed one. You can transport more people with the same number of staff and trains because it runs faster. The solution isn’t to run an artificially cheaper low speed service along side, it’s to run the high speed service in a sane way.

The problem isn’t how they’re constructed, it’s how they’re run, and this article is basically just complaining about SNCF without realising it. They run bad timetables and aim for high occupancy rather than transporting more people. Jon Worth has better writing on the topic IMO.

Or the fact that it doesn’t need to be real because 1. It’s still funny and 2. We all know that the incident has happened somewhere, because shit like this happens so often.

Which part of what I said do you disagree with?

exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.

If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.

Gotta have at lease a little bit of victim blaming

I was on my phone so I decided to just assume that lemmy would auto link it for me, but it didn’t. So I’ve added it manually now for you.

The whole premise was that they’re in danger and need to get to Canada to be safe (the bad guys don’t have passports I guess 🤷), but have to wait just before they cross the border for everyone to show up seemingly for no reason.

In the US, but worldwide car companies push consumers towards larger vehicles because they are more profitable.

👏 Good job. Can you tell me what else is in the picture?

👍 Well done. But we were talking about the cars in the picture.

People would find some way to complain no matter what cars were chosen for the comparison, but the fact is cars have been getting bigger on average.
