If we were to ban cars, what would happen to emergency services?
Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it.

How Grille Design is Killing people (youtu.be)
I don’t totally belong in this community as I rather like cars & motorcycles (but not how dependent our society is on them), but I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how the height of the front bumper/grille is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality and I felt it’d be a good...
