A driver ran into a ghost bike memorial, and it’s a sad and awful metaphor

that "stray bullets" (i.e. moving vehicles) are still a danger to everyone.

I don't like this expression.

1. Bullets have relatively low force, that's why kevlar vests are so effective; the stop penetration and spread the force out. Pretty much the only thing you can do when mis-massed against a car is deflection angles; which relies at least partly on the car's design.

2. Bullets are always should only be fired with intent to kill something. A stray bullet still meets its primordial purpose of killing someone; just not the intended target. The intent of a car is to transport, the fact that it is the primary killer of people aged 1-54 is a perversion of its own intent and a disgrace to transport.

True headline should be: "Traffic light that had a bike chained to it in middle of street"

Look, I'm on board with the "fuck cars" movement, but this is a shit article and a shit clickbait headline. No info here other than some random-ass tweet claiming there had been an accident.
