    This is a bad take lol. You can be charged with manslaughter if it’s an accident and murder if you were trying to kill someone with your car.

    Blatantly wrong takes like this just increase the cognitive dissonance between the anti car movement and everyone else.

      Somebody (@Jhex) else posted that there is apparently research giving some creedence to this.

      But I agree, this meme is death-spiral-cult level. It’s for fellow anti-car folks to commiserate, but it’s probably net negative overall to post memes like this since they can be easily mocked by carbrainers.

      You can be but often aren’t, especially if the pedestrian or cyclist was on the road at the time
