If a driver kills a cyclist or pedestrian in NYC the police make up outrageous bullshit to blame the victim, including saying they weren't using a crosswalk when the driver who struck them at 60mph knocked them down the street. Plus if you get cut up by a driver you can check the vehicle violations to see what fines they've had in the last few years. It's bloody terrifying. Half the police officers at one station had vehicles with violations that would see a UK driver banned 3 times over.
