This overwhelming car-centric thinking is really pissing me off.
Made the mistake of going on Reddit. This driver is on a residential street, a child runs out and - though the driver brakes - they hit the child [minor injuries sustained]. All the comments are fucking praising the driver for their quick-thinking and driving skill!
Does nobody else think perhaps the driver should be driving slower? Totally insane that somebody who is driving fast enough to still hit a child is then praised for it.
