This is why I drink on the bus. The bus driver keeps us all safe.
yeah and I always share my drinks with him
Never leave the house 👍
95% of all fatal drunk-driving accidents happen in the bathroom, or something...
Technically it's dangerous to get drunk at all, alcohol is a carcinogen (sure is fun though). Of course being sober doesn't protect you from cars either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's also dangerous to walk outdoors at all. I saw the aftermath of a drunk driver killing a pedestrian at 6 AM a few days ago. There was debris spread for at least a hundred meters down the road. The news said the driver was uninjured.
Is this THE buckykat from Ingress?
The game ingress?
Yeah
I haven't heard that name in ages. Good times.
It's still going, believe it or not.
I opened it and saw a bunch of red stuff and got scared and closed the app
That's why I drink alone in the basement.
I lost a good friend in highschool this way.
I had a friend that died a violent death years ago because some boomer piece of shit had to drive home drunk from the bar because that was more fun than getting couples counseling or at least trying to talk to The Wife without hitting her.
I fucking hate drunk drivers so much it makes my blood boil thinking about them.
70 km/h sounds like a lot, is it a lot?
About 43mph
Just looked it up and that's about 11 smoots / second! That is pretty fast!
it's the speed of one fart
I think drunk drivers make it unsafe for every pedestrian regardless of their soberity. I see kids, adults, and seniors all crossing a busy intersections in a relatively small town every morning. Nearly every day i see a near miss fron a driver turning right on red and nearly hitting a very visibile pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk while they have the right to cross. And most of these drivers arent even drunk or impaired, many of them are texting though.
Most often, the driver is looking up the road to ensure the traffic lanes are clear but many forget to also ensure the crosswalk is clear. What really bothers me is when most drivers almost hit someone, including seniors or children, they honk and throw their hands up as if that pedestrian is the asshole. At least the honk might give someone just enough time to avoid being hit.
If you're crossing a road and someone runs a red light, I don't think your sobriety is relevant.

Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
