A surge in vehicle crashes is disproportionately harming lower-income families and Black..

From the NYT
Some excerpts. "Yet vehicle deaths turn out to be highly unequal. Lower-income people are much more likely to die in crashes, academic research shows. The racial gaps are also huge — even bigger on a percentage basis than the racial gaps on cancer, according to the C.D.C"
"Poorer people are more likely to drive older cars, which can lack safety features. Low-income neighborhoods are also much more likely to have high-speed roads running through them. “We have systematically put these arterial roadways in areas where people had less political power to fight back,”
Is it even a remote possibility that some of these things cause accidents? Speeding, texting, drinking and drugging, not wearing seat belts, running from law enforcement. No, not possible.

is this due to all the burn outs and street racing?
Posted on 8/23/22 at 11:27 am to Bdiddy
Which group does burnouts in the middle of the road, drag races, and rides 4wheelers on the interstate?

You would think 10 year old BMWs and Mercedes would be safer than that.

Which group drives more reckless and is more likely to not be wearing a seatbelt?

Saw this dumbass headline this morning and lol'd while taking a shite.

90% of this group learned to drive playing GTA. Drive on a Metro BTR Interstate after 10pm and you’ll quickly confirm this assessment.

What group always says "Oops, there's my turn" as they cross three lanes of traffic to make a left turn from the right lane?

Pretty much any time other than rush hour, though it really gets bad once it gets dark.

Alternative headline:
These black folks out here drivin like crazy.

Is there a way that we can "solve" this with our tax money?
Posted on 8/23/22 at 11:39 am to Bdiddy
i believe it.
I mean - everything but Democrat politicians and the black community itself disproportionately and intentionally harm lower-income black families from what I'm told.

A woman was driving down a highway near my house a few years ago, hit another car head on. She had 8 people in her little car - everyone single one died. I'm talking like a Corolla here - with 8 people in it.

Well the most popular car color in the US is white, so...obviously cars are racist.
Posted on 8/23/22 at 11:43 am to Bdiddy
So we need more white people to die in car crashes bc equity

there literally arent enough black people in this country for highspeed roads to only be going through their areas. These people lack simple logic.
Its like them bitching about I10 in new orleans. they act like a road that goes from florida to california only displaced black people in a 3 mile area of new orleans.

We need highway programs
