      I mean. Some of them, yes. Have you watched Aus Dash Cam owners? Some of them have a bloody deathwish. Will grant you the majority seem to be doing the right thing, but certainly not all.

        It’s not a choice between blaming the scooter or the truck driver. It’s a choice between building safe light-vehicle and pedestrian infrastructure or car-centric urban planning.
