In all seriousness, NZ is extremely car centric and that's sad because it would be prime territory for some focused passenger rail lines especially on North Island.

They are "anti-car ideology," which is good, people should be the priority.

Word it as such :

Anti car-ideology

Well, if those lives can only be saved by encroaching on the sacred freedom of vroom vroom, perhaps those people don’t get to live, and their inevitable deaths are a regrettable necessity, and/or part of the great circle of life

Yes, and I vote for an anti-car platform.
