petition: give buses mad max like front bumper,
a car park in the bus lane gets bulldozed and reported for pickup.
Car owner has to pay for the fee+any damages caused to the bus and its bumper.
Just looked what it would cost if you get caught doing that here in the Netherlands, answer: 159 euros. Good, but should be higher.
As all fines, it should be income adjusted. I wanna see a 5000€ fine when some rich asshole does this.
Yeah. It’s kind of ignorant to expect the same fine for say a disabled person unable to work who scrapes by on 900 euros a month vs a super wealthy person on 500k euros a year.
Fines shouldn’t really exist anyways. When for one person they’re a random expense that doesn’t even bat an eye vs for another person it means no food for a week.
Even progressive fines are unfair. In that for someone who barely affords food every week losing 2% of your monthly income is devastating. While for a rich person they won’t even notice losing 2% of their income.
I just broke my arm in 4 pieces because I had to dodge a moron who decided to suddenly park on the bus/bike lane IN A FUCKING TUNNEL
Reminds me that just recently I heard they equipped busses with automatic “AI assisted” detection in their lanes. In very little time they’ve issued 10k tickets, though.

Oh look, a use of AI and surveillance I can actually get being.
A tool is a tool. Main problem are the tools using the tools, usually.
If not park, why park shaped?
And they they get pissed if you tell them

In Victoria it is legal to park on a bike lane for some reason. Most bike lanes here are just road shoulders with a bike symbol painted on them tho.
