If there's one place to drive fast and dumb, it's the highway/interstate. By law there are no pedestrians, bicyclists, pets, etc to run over, just other car brained lunatics

Left lane derangement is the worst possible response to having to drive on the highway all the time, but people would still rather have that than trains.

the thing about being on a bus or a train is that it drives itself without needing your attention the thing about being on a bike, or even walking, is that not only do you beat the traffic so well that you're always moving, but the mere act of moving requires your attention at all times, so you're never bored the car is basically the worst of both worlds because it's dangerous and/or punitive enough to require that you remain engaged at all times, but traffic means there are long stretches of nothing happening that are inescapable anyway

Not too long ago I was doing the speed limit in the right lane on US 30 and some guy raged the gently caress out and passed me in a right turning lane. The left lane was completely open.

while driving my wife to her doctor's appointment this morning a city bus passed me on the right using the bike lane in a 25 mph zone while I was going the speed limit. we then ended up at the same red lights for the next three intersections so it was totally worth it of course

I was going the speed limit (30) through a residential area and this lady was tailgating me and getting pissed, then when we both turned into the same parking lot she gunned it and drove through a bunch of empty parking spaces to get to the stop sign 1 second faster
