I dont understand why people dont have more anxiety about driving cars, its the most dangerous thing you do on a daily basis, cars are 500lb death machines, and every statistic about death compares it by saying youre more likely to die driving yo work. Its also not up to you..owning and driving is a lot like doggystyle sex, its stinky, women hate it, but it gets easier as time goes on

Yeah, and then a lot of the time you're constantly in Micro-almost accidents, where a guy stops a little too fast when taking a left, or when taking a right into a parking lot they stick out too much, or on the freeway somebody just edges too close to you. Let alone all the people who straight out just cut you off because they are late getting to work.

as others have said... 3 beers and half a jay will usually get me calmed down enough to drive.

Sometimes I'll take like a fentanyl patch and a hand full of oxycontin and then die because i left the windows up and the AC off.... I'm basically a labrador retriever.

my wife might try to scam life insurance for my wrongful death even though I was basically abusing the gently caress out of pain killers.

I roll both ways.

LA left turns are the worst because they are mostly unprotected and traffic is poo poo so the only way to turn left is to sit in the middle of the intersection and 1-2 cars can manage a left turn after the light is red and before the perpendicular traffic, now with a green light, gets up to full speed

We have a bunch of traffic circles in MA.

It's hilarious when out of state people don't understand how they work and honk at you and flip you off when they were the one not understanding how a simple rotary works. I had a guy from florida tailgate me and honk his horn for like 5 minutes in Boston.

i am a driver. a real driver. im not one of those "one hand on the wheel one hand on the coffee" style drivers. im not even a "one hand on the wheel one hand on the beer" kind of driver (its illegal in my state). im a one of a kind driver, the best driver, the only one who thinks about what im doing, the only one who knows the rules, the only one who can read the colors on a traffic signal with 100% accuracy. im the only one who knows you can't turn into the outside lane from the inside lane on a left hand turn from one two lane to another two lane road. im the guy wearing sunglasses and a trenchcoat in the middle of the summer.

im the one.

i drive a truck part time and haven't killed anyone in like 5 years, so yeah, it's not that dangerous, really. i drive like 50k miles a year, and that's like 250k miles which is 10 times around the earth, for only one person killed. imho ice cream is probably more dangerous if you really think about it, i mean, 250 thousand miles of ice cream is a lot isn't it

4000 lbs is the average car weight in 'merica because a lot of 70's steel beasts are still on the roads somehow that is how much pickups weigh and tons of idiots drive ford f-150s around town on errands.

Is it okay if me and my cyclist friends take this one lane for about five car-spans? I know there's a pedway right over there, but we like being able to yell things to eachother and that's hard to do single-file. Also, you might hit a pedestrian with your bicycle and that would be dangerous
