Ok, that’s my big question whenever I see someone driving dangerously in DC: Are they not afraid about what would happen if they hit someone?

Beyond just the threat of KILLING SOMEONE, it would also ruin YOUR LIFE as the driver, right? I try to be extremely attentive when driving because I’m terrified of what would happen if I accidentally hit someone.

I grew up in a car-dependent SoCal suburb, but after moving to DC years ago I have been completely r/fuckcars -pilled.

I’ve almost gotten hit so many times as both a driver and a pedestrian. When I drive on the freeway, I have no clue what people are trying to do, or why.

Growing up in SoCal, you had your assholes, but it always seemed like 90 percent of people were just trying to get where they needed to go as safely as possible. In the DMV, it feels like people are ACTIVELY trying to do something you’ve never seen before on the road. People run reds on purpose, drive on the shoulder, etc. I’m in awe.
