How do I word this without sounding like a dick?

Have you watched how people walk? They shamble, they stand on escalators (not the idea, folks!) and so on. These people drive. They look at their phones as they drive. They speed. Many of them are passively suicidal.

I'm not the only person I know who has crashed a car on a kind of death wish in the past. How the fuck are cars legal? Should be as bureaucratic to drive a car as it is to fly a plane.

E: oh and by the way, people cross the street to avoid cigarette smoke. Fair enough but like, are you fucking kidding me?

    Would have had an uncle and a few aunts and the one that survived has burn scars and skin grafts over most of her body.

      I can't really tell the grim stories I know but one involves cops advising the offending party to deny everything

      Not me to be clear. I'd do my time if I killed anyone with a car

      I am sufficiently white -- albeit not affluent -- to have seen the two sides of how cops treat people. The driver in that story was white, as was the victim.

        Let me guess, "It's sad that the world's come to this Mr. Driverman, but you can't give them anything or else this damn litigious society will let them take everything. And they'll do it, too. They're just itching for a chance to take everything from you - your house, your job, your wife. They want to take your penis away from you, Mr. Driverman."
