Me using memes as a way to figure out what’s going on in the world as I don’t watch the news
Number of times this week they have almost hit me, a pedestrian, because they ran red lights: 2!
in 2021 alone there were a total of 1,558 fatalities as a result of car ‘accidents’.
In the 5 year period between 2019-2024 there have been 44 fatalities involving e-scooters, one of these being when someone slipped whilst carrying an e-scooter which was not in use.
Also in those 5 years only a single pedestrian was killed in an incident involving an e-scooter. Meanwhile in 2023 ALONE 407 pedestrians were killed in incidents involving a car.
But yeah. It’s the e-scooters which are a death trap.
P.s. I do not own an E-scooter, nor have I ever ridden one on a road or footpath.
But yeah, fatalities are the only metric that matters here…
