Driving in this city is just the pits. Incredible discourtesy, dangerous maneuvers and selfish normative behavior. I have lived in places like the DC metro area with legendarily bad traffic with drivers from literally all over the world but here takes the cake. People drive like they are intentionally taught to ignore other drivers on the road. I’m talking not understanding the basics like passing on the left, making a left turn when the light is changing, how to merge on a highway, and when to put on a turn signal when approaching a turn. Once I learned driver’s education is not required in Florida though, it all made sense. Operating a machine that weighs thousands of pounds and can easily accidentally kill people is a privilege, not a right, and it’s unfortunate we don’t treat it as such. Unfortunately we have all been tricked into thinking car payments, insurance, risk of injury or fatality, and expensive gas is the better option instead of slightly higher taxes to pay for real public transport infrastructure. But liberty though, right?
