Cars rules…again and again

Wanna be angel? Walk streets of Riga

“Pedestrian, without a reflector you will be angel” says this advert in the streets of Riga. The advert means that you have to wear reflector, otherwise you risk being killed by car. For people of no hope in life (pensioners, beggars and punks) this might be very tempting to become angels. Latvia has second worst drivers in EU (after Lithuania), but instead of fighting that, they think that it’s pedestrians fault (they kinda invisible, right?). Isn’t this weird? It seems like when the city’s pollution level will reach high risk of being poisoned, there will be another law and campaign for people to buy gas masks (no, drivers are saints, let them drive as they want).
