A few days ago I ran out to get a few things, and this car ahead of me is going 20Km/h below the 50 limit for 5 minutes, then comes to a dead stop in an intersection, starts slowly turning and then puts on their blinker. Honked at them for being a fucking dumbass and they just wave me off like I'm the asshole
God I fucking hate how easy it is to get and keep a license. Enforcement needs to be much stricter because there are far too many morons on the road.
i want to live in a world where only those who truly have no other option choose to drive, and even a minor mistake in traffic immediately costs you your license and you have to re-take it from scratch.
It's insane to just let anyone drive a multi-ton vehicle capable of going 120+ km/h for personal transport, if people are going to do so they damn well better do so carefully.
Well that's dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Just say you want to eliminate all cars and be done with it. No human being could meet that standard, because even the best drivers make a minor mistake once in a while. Won't even get into reacting to an emergency where you have a split second to decide what to do. We are not omniscient robots.
psst driveri smartdrive
lmao someone took it personally
That's how you get terrible drivers. Meanwhile those who like driving will care about doing it more safely then those who are forced to drive.
I live in a country were, without exaggeration, 90%+ of drivers don't use turn indicators or do it last minute unless is for their own benefit (for example they'd turning left and need to cross the opposite lane in).
If it's for the safety of others, especially pedestrians, forget about it.
I just so happen to have lived 2 decades abroad, one of which in Northern Europe, so this crap (and the trying to bully pedestrians on zebra crossings) gets on my nerves big time.
