    By your logic airplanes are EXTREMELY dangerous to pedestrians because they go ~800km/h and would instantly kill anyone they hit.

    it is not my logic, logic is mathematical discipline, it doesn’t really belong to anyone.

    airplanes indeed ARE extremely dangerous to pedestrians on runway. not so much in the air, which is largely due to the fact that pedestrians can’t fly.

    the same can’t be said for buses driving on the same streets as cars where their path often crosses with those of pedestrians. so why should bus be allowed to drive faster, having significantly larger kinetic energy and be therefor be far more dangerous in case of collision? why do you think that chances of getting hit by a bus are effectively zero? do buses in amsterdam levitate in a same way airplanes do? i have never been to amsterdam, so maybe it’s a thing there?

    if you manage to get hit by a bus in Amsterdam you really fucked up.

    if you managed to get git by a car you have also fucked up.

    and these drunk tourists… are they also getting hit by a car?

    you forgot to answer this question
