    Driving like a maniac saves you a negligible amount of time but puts others in disproportionate danger.

      Yup, I stopped worrying about extra lane changes and pushing the speed limit when I realized that it was literally saving me 1-2 minutes at best. Not worth the risk or the hassle.

        Similar but really it was the difference between driving being stressful and relaxing. I used to be so angry every time someone did something wrong but now I leave them extra space knowing humans mess up all the time and I’m leaving space so it won’t affect me

      Just a few hours ago I was almost run over by a person who was smoking while driving, thus distracted.

      Just because they couldn’t wait 5 minutes to smoke another cancer stick they almost kill a person and spend the rest of their good years in jail.

      So… Win-win?
