The pavement is not a car park; the highway is not a stabling yard.
Anyone who buys a car has no reason to expect any help from public funds or resources, any more than you would expect a grant of land because you bought a garden shed.

It would also be more useful to discuss at length town planning and national transport policies, but life is short.

The total numbers end and injured does not change much, but they are cyclists and pedestrians, not motorists.
