Two adults also injured as woman in her 40s arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving in Wimbledon

Sorry if this is too dark for this sub. But, seriously, fuck cars.

      Could’ve been an airplane too. Could’ve been a falling satellite. Possibility is not the same as probability.

      While I’m not fond of bus drivers, they’re more likely to be professionals respecting driving rules and safe working conditions, getting checkups, with the vehicles also getting regular checkups. There are also way fewer buses. The problem is cars.

          Obviously there are lots of different factors to account for to understand exactly why this is!

          Yes, I love systems thinking.

        That is exactly why we need to teach maths better at school. Especially probabilities and statistics.

        People keep believing that wildly different probabilities are the same because “it can happen”.

        It’s the very same thing with vaccinations and stuff like that.

      In Canada we see cars hitting buildings much more often than buses hitting buildings. There are likely multiple reasons for that, but one factor is surely that the number of drunk bus drivers speeding down the streets is much lower.

      Obtaining a driving license is too easy and losing it is too hard.
