I know it's a meme but I have to talk about this.
Unironically a car is a weapon. Like, in a court of law, considered a weapon. People driving unsafely is equivalent to someone fucking around with a gun. It's that empathy and compassion that makes people upset because that person driving unsafely can so easily end the lives of dozens of people who didn't deserve it. Fuck cars and fuck unsafe drivers.
90% of drivers say they are a "above avarage" driver. You are most likely part of the issue, you just don't get to hear the excuses the other drivers make up in their heads.
I've found multiple sources for the 90% thing, not the original tho, so not sharing.
That's why I build in safety margins to how I drive.
same, by simply not driving and in fact avoiding sitting in a car as much as i can.
I am DEFINITELY below average.
