Many car drivers suffer from #cyclepathy. A cyclepathic person tends to see cyclepaths everywhere which leads to uncontrollable angry outbreaks. These outbreaks might be verbal, i.e. people shouting “cyclepath!” at the top of their lungs while driving.
If you are friends or family with a cyclepath, you can support them. Repair their old #bicycle. Go on a ride with them. Cut their drivers license. Join a bicycle race. Have fun.
@stux in #Germany, it's sadly not maximum gross weight but engine displacement × emissions classification.
Similarly, insurance rates are usually calculated based off how much or little accidents one commits and how often aid said vehicle type is involved in accidents.
So a 18yr old with a fresh driving license will pay for their a Golf II GTI > € 4.000 p.a. in insurance, but if they instead over 25, has his license for more than 5 years and chooses a 3-door Corsa D, that goes down to about € 1.000 even if they choose all the extras that add to it.
OFC, oldtimers with severely restricted annual mileages will get far lower rates if they ain't the only/main vehicle in a household, but that's expected...
And yes, I too hate these #SuperUselessVehicles that are absurdly big and are only good for #MotorizedViolence against anyone not driving a #WankerMobile / #WankPanzer...
@mikalkulas @DrTCombs also I think people in the #USA seem to drive more aggressively on top of that.
Shit like "#Jaywalking" is a #US-exclusive means to guilt-trip victims of #MotorizedViolence...
💡 #TIL about „Carscism“ and now you did, too.
Because I just created this word under the shower, but I think adequately describes Mobility Politics in (at least) Germany and the #USA.
Please spread it and help it come to life and fill a lexical gap!

@MartyCormack @ascentale @scottsthoughts This is a reason why I am glad to live in Germany. Don’t get me wrong. There is motorized violence as well, drivers trying to force you off the road using their cars as weapons, crashing into you, but it is very unlikely to be shot.
It's always heartbreaking to hear about the death of a fellow fedizen, even if I didn't know them.
I didn't really know #Natenom, but I followed him and respected him.
What's especially gruesome is that @natenom always wrote about #MotorizedViolence straight from #FahrradMordor, Germany and now he himself was killed by a car driver while biking.
#RIPNatenom, you will be missed. 
@DrTCombs maybe sent an anonymous tip to the traffic police and ask them to place themselves nearby undercover so they can withness said #MotorizedViolence and suspend said drivers' license for being "sociopsychologically inapt to participate in traffic"...
Cuz that works in most juristictions...
@davidho whilst missles are likely illegal, a semi-automatic .50 BMG should be possile in the #USA - like unsarcastically...
That being said, #TheOnion as #satire sadly is true to the reality of #Enshittification, #MotorizedViolence and #SuperUselessVehicles ...
