    It’s a pretty reasonable long-term goal in many areas, like cities. There are pedestrian-only streets near me already. We just need a long-term vision and the infrastructure to follow it.

      You can certainly reduce the presence of cars in certain areas and improve the design of cities to this end. But just saying “ban cars” is idiotic.

    You’re laughing at a pedestrian being killed and another seriously injured. You should be ashamed of yourself

      Is your reading comprehension really this bad? I’m laughing at your incredibly simple minded call to ban cars.

  This guy was known to police and was driving a rental. It was relatively recent vehicle with pedestrian safety systems that were not sufficient.

  We don’t need to ban cars, we need to enforce restrictions and change our culture to make people who drive to be more accountable.

  We need to have infrastructure so that people aren’t required to have a licence and car to survive.

  We need to restrict access from people who should not be driving.

  We need to stop relying on ANCAP to determine if a vehicle is safe. There testing methods are flawed and favour the big-players in the Automotive industry. (In some cases literal “big” players)
