I don't hear about hit and runs. I can only speak to my own personal experience driving around. But I believe you.

Now apparently!?!?

Our fucking council people get slaps on the wrists for blatant on camera hit and runs, bruv it’s mental

This happens with enough frequency that it would probably behoove the folks in charge of that area to get some cameras installed to attempt to catch the people that keep doing this.

Listen to me when I tell you JC has the absolute WORST drivers. Blowing through stop signs and traffic signals, cutting people off, speeding, etc. and hit and runs now apparently.

Or maybe, here’s a wild idea - it was the wind. In one of the windiest parts of a very windy city. Shocking, I know.

I'm just curious who's so committed to this

“It’s just like Brooklyn, you’ll see!”

A pedestrian crash rating is an interesting option as well. A more "in your face" rating on cars might deter some people from buying them and it would also be another method in which to tax the shit out of these things.

Legislator Seeks Pedestrian-Safety Rating on SUVs as Death Numbers Rise (caranddriver.com)

Give them time to come around, they're just flooded with emotion over the possibility of loosing the one "ethnic" restaurant their visiting suburban friends like going to

I swear this gets posted once a week

Hello? FBI? I have a lead on the anti-taco hate crime

First the bad drivers came for the bikers, and I did not care as I don't bike.

Then they came for the pedestrians, and I did not care as I'm too aware to get hit.

But now, they come for the Taqueria.... if this doesn't motivate change this town is NOTHING

Must have been slow service

I agree, nothing more infuriating than some obtuse person buying a big vehicle as a form of “protection” for themselves.

We see plenty of these individuals on the road, they think because they’re driving some Escalade, Cherokee , X5, etc they don’t have to pay attention or are worse drivers because they got a “big car”.

Yea I’m sure downtown transplants are driving to taqueria down grand st.

My car has been hit less than 2 blocks from police HQ, an hour later I called and they "couldn't find me and gave up". Thanks

any details on this?

As someone who has had my car side swiped on Grand, and know more than one neighbor who has been hit in the cross walk: they're just for fucking show, fucking shame on this town. Maybe this is the 1 out of 10 times they actually were on

HOW though? I saw them working on it around noon, pieces were literally coming down in chunks letting me see through into the kitchen. Dang that's commitment

So they were behind the crosswalk you were in, in a turn lane? That's fucking insane then.

You'll probably have better luck complaining to your ward council person than the police here
