The prevailing social norms around cars as indispensable in our daily lives has a name –motonormativity (or motornormativity), also referred to as ‘car-brain,’ ‘windshield bias,’ or ‘car culture.’

No bicyclists do with their bad attitudes about cars, and that is just mean of them.

In another recent example from the UK, a crossing guard was banned from high-fiving the children he helps cross the road because doing so slows down traffic.

sounds about right. also, apparently the UK calls their crossing guards "lollipop men"? I assume it's because their crossing sign looks like a giant lollipop
