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

This community exists for the following reasons:

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.

I take the bus about 8 times a week to go see family and the bus i go on goes through some villages and towns, with many cars being impatient and taking the piss with a double decker bus. These bus drivers are pretty calm and just take it because they know if they didn't, they'd be fired.

So this is where I come in. They don't know I'm doing it and the bus is fairly empty most of the time.

Oh you parked in the bus stop to do a delivery? πŸ–• beeping at the bus because you want to get past? πŸ–•cutting the bus lane? πŸ–• come down the road where cars are blocking your side of the road and drive straight up to a bus with no where to go? You best know your gonna get the πŸ–•

It's not much and some don't see them but the ones who do, know they are dicks because I'm showing them the πŸ–•to make them aware of their dickish behaviour.

Another version of this, which I saw in a video (anyone got a link?), is to mimic stepping over a large obstruction in the crosswalk. Drivers will get out to see what's in the road.

Hahah yes I've seen this one! I think that's a fun prank. My version is definitely, while subtle, more malicious and reserved exclusively for arseholes
