    If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don’t they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?

    Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

      I’m pissed they’re repaving the streets near me but they’re not taking the time to make them any safer. No curb extensions or daylighting. Certainly nothing so extreme as a separate bike lane.

        My city and state both have so-called “Complete Streets” policies, yet still fail to do that. They’re literally violating their own rules, but it would take a lawsuit to stop it.
