Happy Monday

Hey some of us sold cars and just drive the speed limit because we forgot how to speed.
Others moved pounds across many miles, and did nothing at all to stand out.
Still others drove school busses, and it was beaten into them while under cacophonous duress.
A few did both.

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

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's disturbing how normalized speeding is. It goes beyond normalization. I've had people get furious with me, flip me off, tailgate me aggressively and literally try to run me off the road for driving the speed limit.
It's especially stupid in the city. People get all pissed at me for driving the speed limit and maneuver recklessly around me before speeding off, only to get stuck at the red light a block ahead. I could feel smug as I pulled up beside them a moment later, that is if it weren't for the disappointment and frustration I feel with how stupid people are behind the wheel of these speeding death machines.
I can't think of any other law we have where a significant proportion of society seems to be actively hostile towards those who care to abide. Why do we accept this as a society?

People react the same way when you don't make a right on red.

Hmmm, sitting quietly, assembling a child's toy from an instruction sheet and spending $1000 for the privilege, or driving a fast car...
Wow that's a tough one!
Edit: oh yummy down votes, they taste so good, tears of the manchild!
What kind of fast car are you getting for 1000 dollars?

What's the hurry? I left early, and sometimes I just like the quiet. These are signs of success not defeat.

And open all the windows sometimes!

It's ridiculous how acceptable people think it is.
I have someone I work with that seems to think the faster he goes the more important and busy he is, therefore he can treat everyone else on the road that follows the rules like they are just retired old geezers with nothing better to do.
It's infuriating. There is nothing I hate more than people with no patience or ability to plan ahead and leave at appropriate times.

Cruise control so handy.
Set to the speed limit and chill.
If people want to pass that's their problem.
Mind you, in Australia the speed limit is usually followed pretty well.
I envy that you have a life where you can use cruise control when you are in your vehicle.
If I am in my vehicle it is usually to go to work, which means crowded highways and people who cut me off or can't maintain their speed worth a damn so if I use cruise control it's only for like 5 seconds before I either have to hit the brakes move into another lane.

it’s been a hard day making TikTok posts so I’m gonna drive around in my luxury car
without my seatbelt onand film with my left hand and maybe probably not hit anyone while I check if the angle looks goodThey are filming/photographing with their right hand. The image is flipped. Or they are in the most American-looking town in England.

I don't think people would have a problem with driving a fast car either, you enjoy what you enjoy. Just respect the limit and the lives of others around you. Or go crazy on a circuit.

I'm a school bus driver and I obey speed limits religiously (and somehow I'm almost alone in this among my coworkers despite the fact that our buses all have GPS monitors installed and our boss can see exactly how fast we're going at all times). Almost every day I have people behind me blasting their horns at me for this. Like, just imagine getting road rage at a fucking school bus driver.
My favorite thing is when they tailgate me, apparently oblivious to the fact that I can't see them at all when they do this, not even in my mirrors.

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

Is there a point to all this judgment or..?
Oh no! The economic reality for young people requires them to sell themselves as influencers to make a living because we don't have actual, useful employment any more. Better make sure I cast my judgment on those who found some modicum of success doing so, so that the world and I know that I'm better than them! /s
I don’t care what anybody does to make money unless it puts someone else at risk. A car is a method of transportation, but more importantly, a weapon. Focusing on getting the right angle or right clip or whatever for your meme puts other people at risk as you control a 5500 pound piece of metal. My criticism is on the choice of using a moving vehicle as a recording studio.
