This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Wow I have not heard of a single news item about sunak that is even relatively benign. What a tool.

Damn, it's a fucking bold stance to say you're for increasing ripoff fines.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's a ripoff fine? Google isn't helping on this one

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Presumably any fine applied to a motorist. They are all unjust.

An answer assuming you were genuinely asking: it's a fine that is considered disproportionately heavy I.e. 300k for stepping on your neighbors lawn.

An answer assuming you were sarcastically asking and an answer that this politician endorses: any fine that effects me - for all values of me that donated to my campaign.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, sorry about him.

To be honest, I could get behind fines for overrunning street works. Hell, go further: fines for any overrunning, underdelivering or overbudget public contracts. That would quickly resolve the mess that the torys have made giving out dodgy contracts to their mates.

Is this real? I honestly can't tell any more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Genuine question, what is the deal with bus lanes?
