Do you get your own parking spot as the blowjobber of the month for the last 48 months at the blowjob factory where you give blowjobs?

Ive been driving on the high way a lot more, and i noticed how lovely people are. they speed aggressively, block attempts to let you into a lane, and a personal pet peeve, dont turn on their blinkers when they change lanes!!

It's already proven that speeding doesnt get you anywhere much more quickly, so why are you being a dick and putting everyone at a higher risk of death

I drive to work on a 2 lane highway heavily patrolled by rear end in a top hat police. I go 5 over in the left lane because the right lane is full of slowpoke idiots. However, this does not stop me from refusing to move for the guy going 20 over behind me and flashing his brights. Sometimes I slow down to the right lane speed when I'm next to another car to show him how bad he could have it. If you're going to drive like a maniac, be prepared to have to slalom around me when I'm already speeding.

Driving is a boring, menial task but despite that it requires close attention. It's one of the worst activities in life.

see OP i like where your head is at but i think that might not solve the problem.

no, see, what we really need are little flying robot drones that patrol all the highways and freeways, and whenever they detect a vehicle going, lets say 15 miles under the limit, they give them a verbal warning accompanied by some lights and such, right? then, if after say, 10 seconds or so, if the vehicle is not back up to speed, they use disintegration rays to remove the vehicle and driver from the roadway. that way people could keep going at a good pace, right? see the death animation in Rax's stage from the video game Eternal Champions for more information on how these drones might work

this is a good idea. or maybe all cars should have spin capability like in F-Zero X. so when dipshits get in a wreck and start slowing down traffic, the next guy behind them can use a spin attack to launch their destroyed cars off the road/bridge

this is the only thing that upsets me while driving. if you know that the left lane is for passing slower traffic and even bitch about "slowpoke idiots," then why can't you just loving move over for five seconds and let people by? you're already admitting that you also drive over the speed limit, so why does it matter just how fast they are going? if they're going faster than you just move over. you seriously must be pretty stupid if you're going to complain about someone that "drive[s] like a maniac" but also force them to "slalom around" on a two-lane highway. i mean it's either that or you know that it's stupid and you're just the biggest piece of poo poo in the thread.

like i said i don't really get upset about anything else that happens in traffic but I have an hour-and-a-half commute each way on a two-lane highway with a speed limit of around 80 and this really gets on my nerves. it's basically the only thing someone can do that will legitimately hold up traffic; you'll have self-righteous assholes like this blocking the left lane so that nobody can go and a line of cars will accumulate over ten deep but they still don't care. i started throwing change at people's windshields who do this after i finally drive past them. change or trash or empty water bottles or whatever if i don't have any change, but i prefer the change because it has the potential to crack/chip the windshield. and once i threw a 1/3 full tropical smoothie cup into someone's open widow for doing this.

It's not. It's because you don't trust that when you get to the merge point, the assholes in the lane you're merging into won't scooch their car right up to the bumper of the car in front of them and give you an angry glare as you sit there unable to merge in.

Maybe you should merge the way the lines literally painted on the ground tell you to, bithc.

If you're going 20 over you've crossed the line into reckless driving and I'm not leaving the lane to join the slowpoke idiots so you can continue your mania. Bonus points for being the type of crazy fucker who throws things at people when you don't get your way.

Three countries approached the Japanese government to help them build a railway system. These three countries were America, France, and Britain. In the end, Britain won out. In 1872 the first Japanese railway was up and running thanks to the British. A massive network of railways spread out from there, all of which were left-side running. And as we all know, Japan loves their trains. If American or French railways had been built instead, Japan would probably be driving on the right side of the road today.


Also Europe had de facto rulership over China and Japan for decades. The more you know!

because in my hypothetical scenario it can't just hit the brakes because hitting the brakes would also kill the driver too because physics. basically the driver or the group of kids has to die and the car is programmed to prefer killing the driver, because sanctity of life

Well no one would buy that car though. Studies show people like the concept of the "greater good" programming but when asked if they would buy that care they say nope and prefer the "selfish" car programming.

Besides there's no guarantee those pedestrians wouldn't be killed anyway thus you save the life you know you can save (the driver's).

quote:

In comments published last week by Car and Driver, Mercedes-Benz executive Christoph von Hugo said that the carmaker’s future autonomous cars will save the car’s driver and passengers, even if that means sacrificing the lives of pedestrians, in a situation where those are the only two options.
“If you know you can save at least one person, at least save that one,” von Hugo said at the Paris Motor Show. “Save the one in the car. If all you know for sure is that one death can be prevented, then that’s your first priority.”


But yeah trolley problem is interesting to think about.
