“when things are so bad you start obeying traffic laws as if you give a shit whether or not you’d kill some kid today.”
So you mean m-f then? Music is a luxury best reserved for weekends, that way I know work won’t interrupt my jam sesh
Sometimes calm driving can lead to a calm mind.
And open all the windows sometimes!
And open all the windows sometimes!
^ This … it lets all the pot smoke out, too.
PSA: Don’t open windows on busy roads. Let’s in a bunch of pollutants like rubber and metal particles from tires
If it’s a place you’d voluntarily have a picnic nearby, feel free to open windows
Yeah I wanted to say something specific about not doing it in the city center, or do it when you’re driving past fields and trees. But I kept thinking of bumming out all the folks that probably don’t have such a resource available.
It’s just one of those things I am lucky to have available, so I intentionally make use of it. I don’t even have to work in the office every day, but it’s a nice office and my very short commute has the option of being about 2/3 on a twisty country road. So it helps get me out of the house and/or awake sometimes.
Oh and back to your PSA: if you are in heavy traffic and exhaust is an even bigger issue than debris particles, remember the air recirculate function on your AC.
If your option is tell the truth or be a “bummer” then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.
Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.
It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a “bummer”.
I started reading your comment here and formulating a reply in my head about how I was just limiting the scope of my comment and not lying and telling people to cast off responsibility and let Jesus take the wheel, etc.
But then your third paragraph is SO on point that I withdraw any resistance to your message.
I had such a rough day at work one day I drove across three states only to eat at a waffle house then turn around to drive back home.
Me when I’m unwilling to lane change once on the freeway.
One crime at a time, save that crime for something good
I’ve been driving Uber for awhile and I adopted grandma driving for my own sanity/safety.
Had an interesting chat with a chill taxi driver about this. He’d been in the business almost 30 years and says he sees people who don’t adopt this philosophy actually have health issues, and quit.
No idea what this is supposed to represent
It’s already pretty self-explanatory, what specifically don’t you get?
It’s literal rather than representative
Many days lately have been like this.
What’s the hurry? I left early, and sometimes I just like the quiet. These are signs of success not defeat.
It do be like that sometimes
Drive the speed limit at all times.
Else you’ll get a very hands-on introduction to the concepts of centrifugal force and static friction.
good luck doing that on British roads
edit: also, there isn’t a single road I can think of within hours of me where you cannot drive above the speed limit in regular conditions, excepting intersections. it’s just bad road design
And on the wrong side of the car.
How to scroll way too far down to find this comment. ITT everyone is British
On one hand, I think speeding is wrong, but on the other am I happy that these people help finance police operations.
(If you drive over the limit in Switzerland, you will get caught and you will pay and also the police are not evil (at least from what I’ve heard))
Switzerland is also roughly 238x smaller than the U.S. Closest state would be Maryland, which is small.
Just providing context.
The size doesn’t matter when calculating per capita.
To provide even more context: the EU is about double the size of the US and still doesn’t have evil police.
Coughs(bullshit)…
Speed limit of the street or speed limit of the car?
