Zero Road Deaths?
Killer roads - Can Australia reduce road deaths to zero by 2080?

Heavy vehicle exhaust and premature mortality

"Pollution from trucks and buses costs Australians $6.2bn in health effects each year, study finds. The report described children at one childcare centre, located near a major intersection, as being exposed to pollution levels equivalent to the smoke from eight cigarettes a day."

"Recommendations included moving trucks away from residential areas, schools and childcare centres, moving freight on to rail, and accelerating the shift to electric and cleaner trucks and buses." >>

Tolerating the crushing of pedestrians, cyclists and wildlife with bull bars

" Bull bars are rigid or semi-rigid metal or composite frames mounted to the front of a vehicle.

Pedestrian deaths just reached an 18-year high. Bull bars are part of the problem
In 2025, 197 pedestrians were killed on Australian roads, the highest number since 2007. Almost every state recorded a noticeable spike in pedestrian deaths compared to last year.

Cyclist deaths also climbed to 49, up 32% from last year – the highest since 2013.
One key reason appears to be the growing size and weight of vehicles, which can increase the risk of death and injury.

Evidence shows bull bars can significantly increase the severity of pedestrian injuries, even in low-speed urban crashes.

Bull bars are not banned in Australian cities. Instead, they are regulated through design standards that are weaker than European pedestrian-protection rules. "

Und was viele nich auf dem Schirm haben: Der Reifenabrieb ist ziemlich proportional zum Gewicht der Karre. Also #SUVs sind die besseren Microplastik Produzenten.

Ach ja, die Rechnung beim Reifenhändler wird dann noch signifikant höher... Doof halt

"Military intervention within oil rich countries... It looks like a grab for oil."

"The United States, following its military intervention in Venezuela, now effectively controls the world's largest oil reserves."

"Rising transport costs have been a key contributor to inflation in both the US and Australia. While the US intervention could see lower oil and petrol prices for Australian motorists, it has the potential to produce a short-term inflation spike."

Last year 355 human beings were killed by the car-road complex in NSW.

"Australia’s 2025 road toll: NSW records highest number of deaths in eight years as fatalities rise nationwide. About two-thirds of road deaths in NSW last year (241) were in rural and regional areas. Cyclist deaths increased from five to 15, including three e-bike riders."

Is Australia serious about reducing road trauma?
Australians want giant fuel guzzling cars risking the life of other beings

"As we head for a fifth consecutive year of rising road deaths and what could be the worst year for pedestrian fatalities in nearly two decades, it’s time to look more closely at what this means."

"Evidence from multiple countries suggests driving larger vehicles may lead to more confident or risk-prone behaviour."
