A CAR IS FREEDOM :grillman: :solidarity: :frothingfash: :solidarity: :my-hero: :solidarity: :porky-happy:
i wouldn't have sped up when they went to pass me ("Never get between an idiot and their destiny."), but the part at the street light where they just sat there on green for multiple minutes.... i may have considered getting out of my car to invite them to move along (I'm built like a fridge, while my vehicle, general style and countenance say "I have nothing left to lose") or calling traffic safety to report the plate as a "possible drunk driver", because that was pretty egregious. cars are the problem, but that person should not be behind the wheel.
Cars are too much responsibility for the average American. :traingang:
What's the point of any of this? Why get angry enough to pass over having to stop for pedestrians? Why try to force the person to go 100kmph+ just to pass in clearly a 40kmph zone? Why is someone in such a rush that they have to pass only to then just sit there making obnoxious hand gestures out the window as the other person lays on their horn nonstop?
The police in my area used to sit at a crosswalk near my house doing the equivalent of a sting operation with a person crossing the street and going after people that either refused to stop or got too close for safety. They've since stopped, but out of everything they could possibly do, sitting and making sure pedestrians could cross the street on a very busy road without possibly being mowed down by a car seems like one of the least terrible things they could spend their day doing. People still have to physically walk on the road itself because there aren't sidewalks all the way up and down the road and to reach the bus stop, you have to cross from the side with a sidewalk to the other that doesn't have one. Only the truly desperate or brave go near the road without a car.
