• if you make it so everyone believes (accurate or not) they have to drive to survive, they will be on the roads. doesn’t matter how shit they are at it, if their license is suspended, their insurance is bananapants, they have had tons of near accidents or actual accidents.

      they will be back on the road tomorrow and most of them will shift the blame as the absolute worst drivers think they are the best drivers.

        “I’ve been driving for 40 years I’m the best driver on the road for miles around” mfs trying to explain their monthly crashes and the daily speeding camera tickets they get: morshupls

      • I cant afford insurance and i also cant wake up 3 hours before my work begins every day and hoof it there, work on my feet, then head back.

        Not only that, it is legally impossible to cross my city on foot. The city is bisected by a highway that once it reaches the side of town where my work is at, there are no sidewalks, no crosswalks, no bike lanes, literally nothing. In order to cross you have to wait for a lull in the constant traffic of cars doing 45-50 in a 35 in order to cross 3 to 4 lanes. Either that, or you stay on one sidr for the whole walk via walking over private property of homeowners or businesses.

        So basically you jaywalk or tresspass to get around town.
