    I am willing to kill us all in a fireball if that’s what it takes for me to drive more dangerously and shave 15 seconds off of my trip. You want to kill excellence

    The good news is that if they ride a motorcycle like their pfp suggests and they think like this, they probably also refuse to wear a real motorcycle helmet

    I find his tweets kind of sad tbh, he goes on to talk about non-speeding drivers being grey people in grey cars with grey lives. The dude clearly sees how empty our lives are in the capitalist system and is terrified of being one of the 99%, so desperate to be special that he sees something as mundane as speeding as an escape from his fate. But in the end he’s just another jackass who can’t drive. There is no individualism for the people under capitalism.

    I hate driving so much. My first instinct is always to concede to other people (even when I technically have right-of-way) because there’s always the possibility that they’ll just ignore all rules and common sense due to impatience (like this guy). But then that leads to the truck-driving chuds behind me blasting their horns and trying to overtake me unsafely. Like, I know there are situations where being too slow can also be dangerous, but it’s hard to make decisions quickly when every option feels potentially unsafe.

      Imo, you should almost always take the right-of-way if you have it. Politeness be damned, the safety of yourself, your passengers, and the other people on the road ought to be the highest priority. And the safest thing you can do on the road is be predictable, which means taking the right-of-way when you have it.
