Preen Dog posted:I've only used a vehicle for work and it's infuriating that I can't (safely) do anything while driving. On the train, a person can read a book, while walking, can enjoy the scenery and think about life, but while driving must pay attention to the banal, repetive activity or I might kill someone or break my car. Being trapped in an elevator was more fun because at least then I could lie down. I for one love having to rely on a machine built to break itself sooner on purpose to get to work and live life, while also having lots of money put away to deal with these random issues, while also needing to also be a mechanic so I don't get defrauded and to take of minor things myself PROVIDED my landlord/neighbors/whoever sees me is ok with me servicing this vehicle. Much better than sharing one big machine that goes to a depot with people who know how to repair it and have the parts around to do so.

Speed bumps are pretty effective against speeding, aren't they? I bet they'd be hilarious in a tunnel if an idiot managed to do a jump. Plus I'm pretty sure that speeding over a bump damages the car, so that's good.

yeah that offramp is exquisitely, drat near excessively signed https://imgur.com/a/tvx2VNV you have to be 200% tuned out to not notice it, like ONE yellow speed sign is easily dismissed but they've got FOUR plus a sign about the traffic light plus signs indicating the sharp turn PLUS there's a loving concrete wall directly in front of you but 200% tuned out is the average state of the american driver so lmao

In Seattle there was this bike path that ended abruptly in stairs, with no warning whatsoever. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?

Google Maps keeps insisting a long flight of stairs down the side of the valley is a legit bike path whenever I check directions. To reach it even you have to cross a grass park with no paths. ...and weirdly enough it probably is still the fastest/safest way for me to reach the valley paths and avoid roads.

Before I posted that I had tried searching for it without success but I was able to get it now immediately because it occurred to me to try searching in comments in r/fuckcars for "skid marks" rather than "stairs" or something There's a video in the post and it's pretty ridiculous: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/ygtkcw/the_disdain_for_bikers_isnt_even_subtle/

 Some kid got fuckin murdered here a year back or so, so they stuck this speed hump here. All it does is slow down Civics or Fits, the modern sort of truck everyone loves to drive just glides over it at 40mph.

Now now, those types of speedbumps also slow down ambulances too, so that they have worse survival rates.* *IIRR, it's been a long time

"But what about emergency vehicles" is a common rallying cry against any kind of traffic improvement here too, despite no evidence that bike lanes or speed bumps make emergency vehicles less effective.
