A fishperson in an intimidating hat!


love the energy of "oh stopped traffic ill just thread the needle between these two stopped semis and then keep on driving because i am a uniquely clever intellect who saw a loophole everyone else missed"

also yeah, stay in the truck! look what's loving happening out there, at least in the cab of a semi when other assholes run into you, you're just going to get bounced around a little. unless, i guess, it's another semi but the odds remain better inside than trying to fight it in shirtsleeves

Sometimes you don't even have to get out of the car, a tractor trailer comes through and kills five people

its crazy how few people dont slow down in poor visibility conditions. very dangerous.

as an aside a frequent complaint on my local subreddit is how many people cant drive in the rain (true) but the complaint is that people go too slow on the highway lol

I think highways just make driving seem too safe, to the point where people expect they can tailgate other cars at 80mph during snow or torrential rain

The idea of driving slower just never even seems to occur to people. You shouldnt even need to slam on your breaks in that youd just loving let off the gas and roll slow.

a common refrain I see is "we shouldn't base driving rules on the least skilled drivers on the road," like they're playing Gran Turismo

I would even suggest that we probably should base driving rules on the least skilled drivers on the road considering that they are actually people driving on the road

otoh, they probably also hate driving so if you want to build them high speed rail or something maybe they would likely be happy to stop driving and leave the road to people who think they're really good drivers and can speed safely

That's how you get hit from behind by a guy doing 80 while you're doing 40

Instead, simply roll your car down the hill into the ravine, go home, and stay there.
