Driving speed is like politics. Anyone faster than you is a lunatic and anyone slower than you is an idiot
All the dads of the world stole it then. That follows, dads don’t make their own jokes.
There is nothing more misery inducing than getting into a car and entering into the global traffic gridlock. I’m actually surprised that we don’t see stuff like this even more.
In fact I sit in traffic some days and wonder why someone isn’t just getting out of their vehicle and committing murder knowing that the cyclist that they flipped off 30 minutes ago has probably covered the same distance as the driver by the time the driver gets to their destination.
Deep down inside many drivers know they’re engaging with a mode of transportation that is horribly inefficient, but decide to cover up those feelings by getting any and all quality of life trim upgrades on their vehicles and trying their hardest to pretend that this is what true freedom entails.
Nothing like sitting at a red light without proper insurance and seeing in your side mirror some guy with a Ford F250 trying to sneak in a right turn using the limited space between your whip and the curb. What’s that huge bed in the back being used for? Probably a small bag of dog food and a 6 pack of piss
As life further deteriorates under late stage neoliberal capital, the roads become a battleground.
As people are stretched thinner and thinner under the boot of capitalism, their fuses will also become short, their anxiety about wasting time will increase, and their overall insecurity level will rise.
They will start lashing out at people they perceive as “getting in the way of their success”
my favorite is when im at a light, and it turns green, but theres a red light like 700 ft ahead, so i speed up to 30 mph and no further. I time the light so that its green when I arrive, both saving gas and time. but for some reason, the troglodytes behind me never understand this and simply must pass me so they can comfortably wait at the red light for a minute, only to end up behind me again. very well adjusted people
So, every tuesday i go and get groceries. Its a 2 hour drive. A few weeks ago, i felt sick on my way back, and decided to drive the speed limit on the highway. This pissed off a guy in his lifted truck so much, he decided to tail me. I turned into a pit stop to ask him what his deal is. He pulls his ton and a half pickup behind my quarter ton, and steps out. Turns out, i’m a foot taller than him. He didnt say much before he went back into his truck and left. Road ragers, man.
Its hilarious because i’ve been driving my ford ranger for years, and i’m 6’2". I thought this guy was gonna be my size, but he was around 5’7" and looked like someone stuffed a ham into a tshirt and oakleys. It was the goofiest shit.
