      Just saw that you shared, thank you. OP provided the link to save an archive of the meme, somehow.

    The most difficult game to play is to drive calmly (almost never use the brake pedal) while leaving plenty of room for assholes to merge in front of you. Requires huge amounts of attention and emotional discipline. Best game on the highway though.

      The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldn’t be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we won’t, because I got mine.

      I would love to bike because if this. I sit in traffic jams all the time. But even with the car, I drive 40 Minutes. Wait, let me check how long I would need with the bike. Ah only 1h56m :) Yea not gonna do that. I’m faster at home even with traffic jams, and they are not every day.

        I’m lucky that my city has good cycling infrastructure, so the ratio isn’t so skewed. You should get your city to creat some, then see how that works.

    Aggressive drivers are always in a rush to commit vehicular homicide. They just gotta run somebody over with their car right the fuck now.

      If America didn’t require a car to live in so many places, I’d support a single strike aggressive driving license revocation policy.

      Death machines not found in the sacred texts are a privilege not a right.

    Don’t it always seem to go

    You try going fast and end up going slow

    You don’t realise

    You’d be faster on a bike

    I drive a larger vehicle for work so it’s difficult to see past me. It’s amusing when both lanes are clogged with some moron going 65.2 passing a semi going 65 and the person behind me tries to pass me on the right. They get about half way out the lane, see what’s ahead and go back to following me. I get to laugh in between curing the one who doesn’t know where the gas pedal is.

    Over the holidays I was driving behind a line of maybe 10 cars, all clearly wanting to go over 55, but not willing to floor it to pass the person going 57 on a two lane road with occasional oncoming cars.

    Being the person I am, I like to keep a healthy distance when driving like that just in case I need to hit the brakes hard.

    People behind me kept getting super impatient and flashing brights, honking, eventually flooring it to go around me…

    All to end up going the exact same speed they were before, but now behind 10 cars that aren’t me.

    I did get that satisfying feeling of seeing someone fly by at over 100 on a highway, and then a few miles down they were pulled over, so that was fun. ACAB but so are you for reckless driving.

    I was in traffic on the weekend that was doing about half the speed limit, and passed a car that had been pulled over. I thought they must have done something pretty impressive to manage that.
