This happens virtually every single day. Drivers in Chicago would rather commit vehicular manslaughter than wait 5 seconds for someone to cross.

You’d be beaten to a fine pulp if you acted like this in Europe.
Meanwhile, in Asia where lots of countries have a different system/culture, the cars would not go that fast when passing by a pedestrian. The idea is basically that pedestrians just walk into the road and the cars adjust their speed to allow the pedestrians to pass.
I’ve been to southern Europe, you’re fooling no one. Europeans are not immune to the empathy-dissolving powers of the automobile. Only meaningful infrastructure and enforcement fixes this, and the places in Europe where motorists are reasonable have those things. They didn’t get there through mob beat-downs.
Ah, forgot I’m on Lemmy where everything is interpreted literally. My bad.
You’re right - in Europe, street vigilantes won’t pass you through a fine-mesh strainer for breaking the law. What’s real is that even in Southern Europe not giving right of way to pedestrians is not only a crime, it is also a social death sentence.
You couldn’t act like the driver in the video for long without running into some serious problems with basically everyone you meet. Imagine taking a dump in the park every morning and expect to get to live a normal life among the other civilized people of your city - it’s just not gonna fly.
That’s fair, you mean people ultimately aren’t strangers to one another, the community will remember you.
Yeah even in larger cities you’ll get noticed if you repeat this kind of behavior. And your friends would leave you pretty quickly.
If you have any videos or articles of these people being beaten into a fine pulp please do share , DM or any other way I dont care , cause I need proof that the people are actually doing something substantial about it lol.
