Wow, thanks for providing this!

If that really is a list of "worst offences" it really is very mild compared to the explicit calls for violence I see every day in the fediverse.

To clarify, I was referring to visibility of deer and items. The situations you mention here limit the vision of the driver as a whole, and then the visibility of things no longer matters. Where I live we also have lots of deer, but accidents involving deer & other bigger wildlife is uncommon enough to make the local news (and you'll almost never see such roadkill along the roads). During the season I'll see animals several times per week, sometimes having to stop more than once on a single drive.

Nastiest run in I've had was where a group of deer had gotten in between the wildlife fencing on a stretch of highway

Illustration regarding visibility.

It looks like wet pavement.

That's the part that makes black ice nasty. The temps can be slightly above freezing with wet spots everywhere. Then suddenly one small spot has slightly lower temperature. Bam, black ice.

I agree that drivers have a much larger responsibility, barring reckless behaviour. What I disagree with is driving being inherently dangerous. It's a question of system design. As you mentioned Wisconsin, I assume you live in the US. My condolences.

This is simply incorrect.

• Deer are very visible at night due to their reflective eyes, coat (which is not black) and movement. They can be spotted at >150m distance with high beams on. The reason they (and other wildlife) are dangerous is because they can jump into the road at the last moment from behind cover.

• Stationary items are usually a very low threat since the driver has a long time to spot them. Bigger ones (such as a tree, bin or car) are also inherently more visible. Also, the worst case is damage to the vehicle.

• Adding on, it is usually mandatory for broken down/stopped vehicles to have their hazards on and put out a warning triangle ahead if they are in the road.

As an intelligent being, you are ultimately responsible for your own continued safety. The good news however is that most drivers try to avoid hitting pedestrians.

If you spend a lot of time around traffic at night, a simple reflector tag does wonders to increase your visibility and lets you take more space.

I don’t fucking understand how anyone could watch trump and think that this guy has any brain cells.

It's an easy trap to underestimate Trump, but the fact is that he is anything but stupid. He sounds absurd because we aren't the target audience. That is why the media laughed in 2016, they aren't either.

The fact is that he is an excellent showman and good manipulator. He won based on an electorate fed up with a hypocritical and out of touch establishment voting for the "fuck you" option.
