Cartoon of three children walking, they are all holding phones, two have their eyes down to their phones and are tapping with their fingers, the third is wearing headphones, has their eyes closed, and is whistling along to music. A car is approaching, drawn to look like it is traveling at speed (all four wheels off the ground). The caption reads: "Because they're NOT watching for you". The cartoon is signed by Dave Granlund.

I suppose in a city that has imported US automobility values, it's not surprising that the #Galway Advertiser would print a US cartoonist rather than commissioning someone locally, and one that reinforces #motonormativity and the victim blaming that is such a feature of Ireland's #RoadSafety approach. #GalwayCityOfCars
