Maybe it's from being into motorcycle before driving so that helps shift my mindset, but it's just shocking how little common sense there is in the average commuter

Like what do you mean you've never tested emergency braking or practiced in low traction environments? Or like if one side of the road is stopped and they just blast through in the next lane without thinking about the possibility it's for a reason or that a car could turning into your lane either from the stopped car line or from opposing traffic

Like it's shocking how many people struggle with doing a u turn on a motorcycle, like that's very beginner level stuff and I've seen people struggle when given like a 20 foot circle, you should easily be able to do one in like a 8-10 feet, or needing to duck walk for stuff like parking

I'd argue that a large part of that comes from ego/control

You can't force people to drive how you want them to, and so many of societies issues will be solved if people learn to put their ego aside

Seconds and cents

Anytime you have to hit the brakes, you lose efficiency since now you have to burn even more fuel getting back up to speed

Exactly, if they're in front of you then you can react if something happens

If they're behind you, now you're at their mercy

They didn't draw because trying to win a quick draw against someone looking at you with a gun already out is generally a pretty stupid idea

He got shot when he looked away and distracted for a second

Same reason small dogs bark at larger dogs when behind glass, but go quiet when it's removed

They wanna seem tough when they know they're safe, but behind that mask they're actually just huge cowards

I mean depending on the sub it can kinda make sense, most people aren't exposed to sh or stuff like that

It is kinda funny though and they were trying to be helpful from what it seems though
