I miss home a little bit sometimes. Image
This is Rivaz on Lake Geneva, seen from Chexbres.

For amateurs, this person takes really beautiful pictures of this area in Portugal: instagram.com/dinisc_/

For some SUVs, the front blind zone is so large that you can have 12 children sitting in front of the car and the driver cannot see them. ImageImage

Also these cars will hit cyclists and pedestrians in the upper body rather than lower body, killing more often.

content.tcmediasaffaires.com/LAF/lacom2019/…
In Portugal, happiness doesn't recover after hitting the bottom in the 40s-50s. It is usually U-shaped in most countries

What is it with joggers running on the cycle path? Is the pavement not good enough for their expensive shoes?
I thought cyclists and pedestrians could develop a collective class consciousness against car drivers until I realised how much I hate weekend Lycra wankers on racing bikes speeding through and phosphorescent joggers taking over the cycle path.
We cargo bike fathers have nothing in common with these people.

From the Dutch naturalization test:
"Ms Van Dam is rude to Sarah. What should Sarah do?"
- Lodge a complaint
- Get angry and not give her coffee
- Stay calm and tell her she doesn't think it's nice.
It's going to be difficult for Ms Van Dam to pass the naturalization test, being rude like that.
More seriously, how can any of these behaviours be wrong? There's probably a fair percentage of Dutch people who would act in each of these ways.
