Like anyone gets to drive at speed during commuter time.
Everyone wants to say fuck cars but no one wants to be a civil engineer or whatever and build the public transport that would replace cars. So everyone in this thread should sit down unless they have real solutions. Listen, I hate cars and driving too, but I'm not taking 3 trains into town, totalling 3 hours. That's not reasonable for a commute.
I fucking love cars.
I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
This isn't and unsolvable problem. There are cities that have working public transport and commute is reasonable.
On the other hand, you have to put a gun on my head to make me work that far from my home (im assuming, something like an hour worth of car travel?)
Get rid of your car. Problem solved.
Replaced with what? There's no infrastructure here.
If you advocate for public transport, then you can provide these people with an adequate alternative to driving.
More interested in bike paths but trams and trains are cool too
Why not both? Trams and bike paths can work really well together.
Yeah both would be fine
Yeah that's never happening in America if big auto has anything to do with it
Sure, but outside of meme countries we can actually do this kinda thing.
nothing makes a tired annoyed version of me happier before dawn than going extra slow just to piss off the asshole riding my ass with LED headlights lighting up my whole cabin
*to clarify, the situation I am talking about is where I'll be doing my usual up-to-20% over the speed limit minding my own business on my way to wherever in the morning, and some jackass with LED headlights at the same height as my face comes up behind me and rides my ass for several kilometers despite multiple passing opportunities. when that shit happens, my dreary morning just got interesting and I have something to keep me entertained
I usually just pull over when possible and let them get ahead of me. Not worth the drama.
I give them the chance to pass by moving all the way right in the lane and slowing down at passing opportunities. after a few missed opportunities, I'll fuck with them for the entertainment.
but yes, not always worth it.

The old dude driving slow in the morning probably doesn’t want himself to be driving at rush hour, either. Maybe if we had some kind of system where professionals planned and implemented a ride sharing systems, perhaps with planned routes and really big cars that lots of people could sit in? Maybe we even put it on rails so it uses less energy while moving?
My country has this and better, no difference.
They also love shopping during the busiest times I'm the weekend. They just love wasting working people's precious free time.
You have no more right to use public roads than anyone else.
Correct, but if you can do shopping at any time, you should aspire to do it when there are as few people as possible. That goes for everyone and it also works for most non group activities, such as driving
One of my favourite things about being retired is the ability to go to the shops in the middle of the day, when it's quiet. No crowds. Parking. No rush. Bliss!
I work mostly evenings and weekends and being able to run errands when it's not busy and do chores when flatmates aren't around makes up for it.
5pm at the restaurant. Retirees and families with little kids.
Having been a 2nd and 3rd shifter most of my adult life, I miss going shopping in the middle of the night when hardly anyone was there.
Even better, aspire to not use a car. Commute via bike or public transport.
Everyone has better things to do then sit in traffic, and its always tempting to blame someone else - eg. some old guy that you wish would have gone shopping at a different time. But if you are on the road in your car then you are traffic. You're holding people up. You're delaying people. And as the previous person said, you have no more right to use public roads than anyone else. So rather than wishing and hoping that other people will do something different, take initiative to do something different yourself.
I think we're all shocked you're not already retired, Mickey. ;)
Always interesting on social media sites trying to guess if the poster is male/female and how old

Retire? Fucking hilarious!
I don't have any problem with someone driving under the speed limit as long its within the legal amount. My problem is buttplugs. Buttplugs are creatures who crawl up someones ass and refuse to pass. They prevent the people behind them from legally passing and just sit there for mile after mile.
A mutation of the buttplug is the plugipede. Where you have mulitple buttplugs all up each others ass and content to follow one another at less than two car lengths apart.
I never blame the guy going five under at the front.
butt plugs with LED headlights, no less
“I’ve done my shopping at 11 am on saturdays for the last 40 years and even though the shops are packed and the selection is poor, I’m not going to consider moving to 10 on Monday instead”
It's tractors and some guy regularly riding a horse and cart round my way.
Lmao sounds like where I grew up in Mississippi. Farmers everywhere, but quite a few Mennonites and Amish too
I just retired, and my wife still complains that I drive too fast. I'm joining a gym next week and getting back into writing and fermenting, and so won't have much time to annoy Frank Freeway during his commute from hell.
I have never commuted by car, but I plan to get a car when I retire so I can drive around in the mornings.

And also ignore pedestrians, even though they just stared in my soul while waiting them to stop (but they just slowed down and didn't stopped)
