And if you put shit in the middle of the road and cause accidents then you have fucked up!

It's not the middle. It's the edge. The walls are outside the road. Why are you driving outside the road?

Furthermore, American lanes are way too wide. Why do you need a lane that wide? How do you even manage to not stay in your lane when it is so fucking wide?

Wow, lotta hate there. You doing okay?

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah. I just hate people that act entitled to the government building them enormous flat roads so they can move themselves in an oversized emotional support vehicle so they can watch tiktoks while driving without going out of their lane. While also disregarding the safety of everyone around them, which could basically be killed in an instant by them.
