Are Safety Campaigns Unfairly Targeting Traditional Vehicle Drivers? It’s Your Call Nov 14, 2022
Manage episode 347012765 series 3301274
Why do we continue to tell drivers of traditional vehicles (cars & trucks) that it is their responsibility to be watching out for all of the other vehicles on the road?
A driver with a DUI can purchase an e-bike tomorrow, and with the flip of a switch, be driving again at speeds of up to 100 km/h. No license, no insurance required.
Pedestrians are wandering into the streets while staring at their phones. Others are walking at night in dark clothes. Is that 100% the responsibility of vehicle drivers to watch out for them?
Should cyclists not be pulled over and fined for not having lights? Should they require a license?
With so many new types of vehicles sharing the roads, is it time we change who we're targeting in the conversations about road safety?
