    But the law will definitely make me think twice before lending my car to anyone.

      @TDCN And it is outright harmful to the environment, car pooling is a thing.

        Yes carpooling is a thing but this law literally has nothing to do with this so I don’t get your point.

          @TDCN Your literally lending a car. And if you lend it to some idiot, you have no car.

            Exactly. Don’t lend your car to an idiot. It’s your car so also your responsibility. Keep it safe.

              @TDCN it is a pool. You don’t know who you are lending too.

                Okay then I don’t understand your way of car pooling. It’s not really thing here since it’s either impractical or public transport is way better or biking is a possibility

            Just make a contract with a refund clause if you lend your car?

              @Starkimarm @TDCN you can’t negotiate such things with a contract, law trumps whatever you write down.

                @amszmidt @TDCN

                Why wouldn’t you be able to make a contract that your friend has to replace the car you borrow him, of it get’s confiscated because of his reckless driving?

                  @Starkimarm @TDCN because law is higher than whatever terms you put into a contract. You can’t make a contract that allows illegal results. It isn’t about just getting back they money.

                    Why “allow illgal results”? That’s just compensation of damages.

                  @Starkimarm @TDCN how is the law formulated that for example lending car companies can lend a car? Why do companies have a lower bar than individual citizen? If I start a company will I be able to lend my car silly niilly subverting the intent of the law? This law is beyond daft.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
