FYI,

She broke a wrist. So don't break your hearts.

Man you got some A+ empathy skills here and you're irony deduction is through the roof!

Congratulations on winning the internet. What will you do next?

Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died…it’s just ironic that she was injured by the danger she was trying to help us all with.

Broken wrist is pretty brutal. I don’t want to get hit by a car.

Idk about that poster, im still trying to figure out which Fleetwood Mac Fan Club member was driving.

She was on a scooter attempting to turn left, amd the car was coming from behind her and tried to overtake on the left?

Was she turning from the left side or middle of the lane with a turn indicator on? Hopefully, we'll get more details. Obviously, you shouldn't just pass a stopped vehicle on the left side at full speed, indicator or not. You need to slow down and figure out what they're doing. If they're on the right side of their lane, then maybe you think they're pulled over and are not expecting them to suddenly go left.

I don't think we gotta litigate who's fault it is she got hurt; I don't think it matters much. If she's not at fault that doesn't make the driver a bad person or bad driver. If she is at fault that doesn't make her a bad person or bad scooter...operator? rider? (Actually is Scoot-er a person who scoots?)

Accidents happen, and more cars (or electric scooters for that matter) make them more likely and more dangerous even if everyone is doing the best that can realistically be done!

Thanos has a way to cut traffic accidents by more than half!

One way to improve safety would be better training of car drivers and possibly include other forms of motorized transportation. I'm not sure how regulated scooters are in BC.

lol I’m no statistician but I feel like a thanos snap would reduce car accidents by way more than half…it’s like that quirk about how you only need 23 people in a room for there to be a 50% chance two of them share a birthday!

Still, I expect that if the safe street folks had their way there’d be a lot less trauma than if thanos did.

Frankly, I’m a grouchy old man I guess because I hate the electric scooters. Get a bike! They’re way less dangerous because of the physics of falling down from one hahaha

She said she had her blinker on and signaled the turn. She has an interesting definition of "hit." The Kia driver hit her with this side of his car as she tried to turn.

Sounds like she turned into the car. So, she hit the car because the car made an unsafe and unexpected move.

I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don't like that?

I genuinely thought she died and was relieved she didn't. Posted to ensure nobody else experiences the roller coaster I did.

Fuck me, right?

Well that's good to know. The way you worded the post it came off very sarcastically, as if because she only broke her wrist it wasn't a big deal. Saying you're relieved to learn she didn't die would have added needed context to the statement.

I think your comment comes across as “she didn’t die so this is overblown” (and by extension so is the desire for traffic calming measures).
