Drive the speed limit at all times.
Else you’ll get a very hands-on introduction to the concepts of centrifugal force and static friction.
good luck doing that on British roads
edit: also, there isn’t a single road I can think of within hours of me where you cannot drive above the speed limit in regular conditions, excepting intersections. it’s just bad road design
Me when I’m unwilling to lane change once on the freeway.
Speed limit of the street or speed limit of the car?
I had such a rough day at work one day I drove across three states only to eat at a waffle house then turn around to drive back home.
One crime at a time, save that crime for something good
me even in school zones :P
dude i am so burnt out
No idea what this is supposed to represent
It’s already pretty self-explanatory, what specifically don’t you get?
It’s literal rather than representative
Broke: driving the speed limit because you are tired.
Woke: driving the speed limit because you are a responsible citizen who wants to make the roads safer.
Bespoke: going the speed of traffic so the irresponsible citizens are also safe
Coke: Running the speed limit.
Coke: reinventing the speed limit by setting the example —like a squid from a slingshot.
normalize avoiding vehicular homicide
So you mean m-f then? Music is a luxury best reserved for weekends, that way I know work won’t interrupt my jam sesh
It do be like that sometimes
Many days lately have been like this.
Driving the speed limit at all times regardless of mood. Because I value my safety as well as the one of others.
But what about the “I’m late for work” mood 😥
Don’t leave late. Lobby your politicians for sensible transport infrastructure (i.e. not just cars)
There is no excuse, but people normalise the hell out of it
the few minutes speeding saves you wont do any meaningful difference
I also drive home at the speed limit after getting some a$$.
Sometimes calm driving can lead to a calm mind.
And open all the windows sometimes!
And open all the windows sometimes!
^ This … it lets all the pot smoke out, too.
PSA: Don’t open windows on busy roads. Let’s in a bunch of pollutants like rubber and metal particles from tires
If it’s a place you’d voluntarily have a picnic nearby, feel free to open windows
Yeah I wanted to say something specific about not doing it in the city center, or do it when you’re driving past fields and trees. But I kept thinking of bumming out all the folks that probably don’t have such a resource available.
It’s just one of those things I am lucky to have available, so I intentionally make use of it. I don’t even have to work in the office every day, but it’s a nice office and my very short commute has the option of being about 2/3 on a twisty country road. So it helps get me out of the house and/or awake sometimes.
Oh and back to your PSA: if you are in heavy traffic and exhaust is an even bigger issue than debris particles, remember the air recirculate function on your AC.
If your option is tell the truth or be a “bummer” then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.
Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.
It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a “bummer”.
