It’s no wonder we still get bullshit rhetoric from our leaders about how vulnerable road users have an equal share in responsibility. At least they don’t call them accidents anymore. Now we need to change the passive language describing them.

I’m so sick of this passive language that puts all the agency on vulnerable road users. No. The driver of a pick up struck a pedestrian. Full stop.
