    Is it IRL enough if I used to constantly see her name in newspapers and television news?

    …are you sure that’s a western urge? I don’t really think that’s how it goes in Finland, Spain, Sweden or Germany.
    People would not react the way you see here, but that’s because of the way the message is conveyed, not because of the message itself.

      can only speak for germany:

      a. this situation wouldn’t really occur since rule compliance is higher

      b. people use cars - 2-wheel vehicles are rare

      c. seething road rage is the default modus operandi. a fight is inevitable (it might just be a karen-esque fight through the legal system tho*)

        IDK man, in my city, most intersections have a stopping area for bikes a few meters ahead of where cars are supposed to stop, to protect cyclists when they are making a turn. Cars going over the line and blocking this area is an extremely common occurrence (more often than not I’d say). I would love to have someone go around and just bonk people for stuff like this. I agree with point c.
