Apparently for NYC you can just search and see the amount of traffic violations, and this dickhead has a LOT

I feel like at some point those should start getting points against your license or something.

The fine should go up exponentially with the number of violations (as well as income). First ticket? You screwed up. Tenth? You clearly don’t care. Hundredth? You’re doing it on purpose.

This guy pays about $200 a year to drive like an asshole.

Bro was at like 19 on just that license plate

Would help a lot, if violations did not only cost money, but the driver’s license eventually.

100 years of automobile propaganda has made us in North America that streets are for people to move, not for cars to move.

There was a spot close to where i lived close to a kindergarten - it was a driveway for emergency vehicles, crossing over the sidewalk and closed off. Every fucking day for 2 hours in the morning and intermittent during the afternoon you had to dodge illegally parked cars there, most of the time not even leaving enough space for a wheelchair or a baby stroller while they dropped their own kids off.
There were perfectly fine legal parking spaces a few meters down the road.
It was more than “mildly infuriating”, because it speaks of either a lack of self-awareness or a “fuck you, got mine"-mentality.

How many valve stems did you collect?

Fuckcars is leaking again I see!
SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 2 hours ago
On the contrary, everybody hates cars. I’ve never met a driver who doesn’t hate cars. Fuckcars is the concentrated form.

Everyone I know IRL hates cars and driving in rush hour, and all of them live at least 30 minutes away from work. I don’t think they properly weigh their options when choosing a place.

Americans voted in a pedophile twice. You think they care about bike lanes or basic decency?

Would be a shame if you tried to “squeeze past him” and accidentally scratched/keyed to whole side of his car because there was no space to get around

Yeah but the driver would probably just run him down, road rage is crazy

U locks don’t just work for locking up your bike, or so I’m told

They’re actually pretty shitty for locking your bike up.

Is not allowed, filming and riding a bike is severely fined here

Unprotected bike lanes’ fatal flaw is that they rely on the honour system in a country where nobody has any.
Naho_Zako@piefed.zip 4 hours ago
Thankfulky enough, I think Mamdani has stated in some recent interviews that he’s working to make bike lanes actually protected, and just make the city more bike/pedestrian friendly. So things are looking up for them!

In my city I never (and I mean never - people just don’t do it here, they even avoid getting caught intending up yurn lane stuff) see people drive in bike lanes, so this seems like a NY City asshole kind of thing.
BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I live in a city where most of the bike lanes are just a dedicated shoulder. When I’m driving on these roads, 100% of the time if I’m following someone, they will drift into the bike lane. I also ride my bike in that lane, so I’m extra alert to it. Not so much a parking issue, but lazy and distracted drivers are a plenty.

I see taxi drivers doing it regularly.
Drusas@fedia.io 2 hours ago
Nah. I see it plenty in Seattle, though I'm sure it's a much bigger problem in New York.
Tetsuo@jlai.lu 4 hours ago
With so many cops why would it rely on the honour system ?
I mean it should be the cops kicking out people off bike lanes… We have assholes like that in the EU but they sometimes get a fine for it and eventually some stop doing that kind of shit.
The problem is that it’s not enforced by your police forces.

Police in North America exist to protect the property and interests of the wealthy, not to enforce laws that help the average person
