A lot of drivers have gotten way worse and more aggressive since the pandemic in my area. A lot of it, is people moving out of the city into the suburbs and bringing their toxic driving with them
I am tired of the rush rush rush everyone is feeling and pushing onto others. Leave with sufficient time and then go the speed limit. You get there when you get there. If there are delays you should have a backup route planned if you have an important meeting or deadline. Give plenty of room in case the car in front of you needs to stop. I sometimes get pushed through a red light because someone is tailgating me. One time there was a truck pulling a trailer behind me. I had plenty of time to stop but they didn’t. I ended up going into the intersection to avoid getting rear ended and had to drive into opposing traffic on the other side before moving back onto the right side of the road. I’ve gone through it so many times in my head and the only solution was to not stop and run the red light. This should never happen. People do not treat stale green lights as something that can potentially change and they don’t prepare for it.
Cats reduce pollutants that contribute to smog that directly harm human health. But they do nothing to reduce the net carbon released into the atmosphere. In fact, by converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide they are hastening climate change (CO2 is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO).
In one of those situations only someone in a long term relationship can understand my wife was upset as I was not worried that she may be dead when I wake up. Please don't ask me to explain these kinds of things. The main point is I was saying I was worried about her when she is off driving someplace as that is the most dangerous period of time.
Clickbait headline, and stupid article. At no point are they making the claim that EVs are worse than combustion engines. The author posits that bicycles and walking are even more climate friendly than driving a car of any kind (duh). This entire article could be replaced by the sentence, “We should keep building trams and bike lanes in the EV era”.
The point is that the money spent on electric car subsidies went mostly to more wealthy people and took money away from investing in things like better public transport.
That works. The local L trains running along side the highway in Chicago got me, seeing 5 trains roll by while barley[barely] moving in bumper to bumper gave me the final push to covert to public transit
This is a great take down of an idea so stupid that I didn’t realize people were pushing for it. The stupid idea being replacing fixed route public transportation with government subsidized on demand rideshare.
They don’t just look like giant asshole, the act like it ! I have seen a few here too (Gatineau/Quebec/Canada) and they love to piss off people by spewing that black stinky smoke directly in the face of bike riders and people walking around. Pisses me off that these assholes make enough money to buy these huge trucks just to piss off good people.
