Do they test for distraction with the ever growing tablet sized screens that are replacing all dash functionality in cars? My family has a 2015 rav4 and that screen size is considered tiny nowadays
It reads like vulnerability. Drivers have as little restriction as they're ever going to have right now. It's only going to get more restrictive from here on and I think they sense that.
I’ve always found my car a burden and a restriction and a source of anxiety, my enjoyment of driving was almost immediately blasted away by the cost and responsibility of having to own one. Unfortunately I can’t afford to live where decent alternatives exist, and I’m too physically feeble to bike.
The number of people who think that the punishment for inconveniencing them while driving should be instant death is so high it makes me never want to go outside
“Drivers love killing pedestrians” obviously an exaggerated statement but everyone thinks that it can’t and won’t happen to them, but it happens to people every day, individual tragedies where someone fucking *dies*
Pedestrians aside, I have ridden in cars with people who hate sharing the road with bicycles (and shared their hatred unsolicited) sufficiently much that I suspect they would run them over if they didn't think they'd get put on trial were they to do it.
I'm still not over seeing the news about a driver running over a kid and the kids *parents* getting a manslaughter charge for allowing their kid to walk home from the store
yeah that made me want to vomit, genuinely. I really am doing a bad job shutting out the extreme grotesque injustice and pain this country inflicts in the name of convenience today

Kinda, yeah.
While also complaining about how much they hate traffic
