Yeah like what the fuck? Every time I drive on a highway I encounter at least one potential life-ending moment, where if I hit the breaks one second too late I'll die. This is absolutely a trillion times worse than the slim chance of getting a subway car lit on fire lol
If you're having near death experiences every single day, that has to be something you're doing wrong.
Then you are not giving the proper distance. If you experience this every time you drive you are probably the problem.
If you can't conceive of a situation where you need to slam the brakes due to external factors despite following the recommended 2-second following distance, you're ignorant of the depths of bad driving. Have you really never been cut off before?
I would go so far as to say that if you're not noticing at least a single example of dangerous driving nearly every time you leave the house, you're probably not aware enough to be a safe driver.
Dangerous driving, not slam the brakes every time lol
Every time? No. If it happens every time, you're the problem. This shit is outta pocket. Or you live in thunderdome.
Just a fairly normal North American city, actually. So yeah - thunderdome.
Dear diary,
I met mad max today, great driver, very aggressive.
Sometimes it's "just" a dead girl hit by a speeding SUV a couple blocks away from their school. Even something as simple as a bit of extra speed has a remarkable influence on life or death. Both in avoiding and mitigating harm.
Not as exciting as Max Max, but nice movie reference.
The criticism is about your gross exaggeration of every day commuting from an individual perspective. Because that shit is not daily unless you are the common denominator.
Nice appeal to emotion though, but everyone already knows bad things happen. I could post thousands of days of a 15 year, 30 mile, commute too and it would be just as relevant that you need to drive better.

Calling a kid's death an "appeal to emotion" when it's a real tragedy from a couple weeks ago - and blaming it on me because I'm actually aware that deaths like this happen every week? You're a sad person.
Ok, now it's every week and not one life ending moment every single trip. Better post something to make you feel more self righteous, you're numbers are slipping.
It's still dangerous if no one dies.
Here's one from today: https://www.cp24.com/news/2025/04/07/3-injured-one-seriously-in-11-vehicle-collision-in-etobicoke/
Jfc, you are dumb. No one experiences anything like this every single day on their commute. Which is what you said. I drive a lot and know you are full of shit. You can change the subject and post every car accident ever. But you stil told an exagerated lie. Blocked.
OP above stated that tattoos are indefensible proof of guilt and worthy of deportation in all circumstances. This might be helpful info if you find yourself debating them.

Brakes, not breaks.
And no way are you driving safely if that happens every day.
I only drive safely on the days I choose to drive - and yet, I somehow still always see unsafe driving every day.
Also those scary moments are fun. Maybe that's just a me thing though.
What highway is this?
Fury road.
