    I question why this person still has a valid license if they care so little about everyone else that they couldn’t stay in their own lane.

    I had a co-worker get a warning once for eating leftover pizza. I’ve seen my mom eat the messiest sandwich and get off with a warning. It really depends on how many kids you have to drop off. No one fucks with a hungry momma bear.

        He even took the picture while still driving. Imagine veing crippled for the rest of your life because some fatass needs to eat a whole chicken while driving.

        People like this deem themselves great drivers, and everyone around them can’t drive. The officer should have taken his license instead.

          These are the people you see doing 20 under the limit in the middle lane for 5 minutes (because they’re looking at their phone) while everyone passes them, then suddenly accelerate as they realize they haven’t been paying attention

            You actually see that a lot. You’re behind a car and it’s slow and swirling a lot. Suddenly they speed up when they realise that they haven’t checked the road in a mile or two.

              Yep. When they’re acting really weird I try to glance at the driver as I pass them. Often see them looking down, or even just looking at their phone on the dashboard

            This dude is definitely driving a truck, he’s got a camo hat on the dash, he’s taking photos of a receipt while driving. And he posts shit like this

            This dude is doing 90 on the highway and switching lanes last minute while tailgating people, he’s definitely not cruising below the speed limit

    and this is why people that eat vegetables live longer, it’s far less distracting to eat a carrot or apple than a juicy roricery chicken.

    MFs like this are why we really need public transit. This dude is sharing the road with everyone else while he’s trying to eat chicken and shitpost. He could be doing that without endangering everybody else (though he’s probably deservedly catch some shit about eating a rotisserie chicken tbh) on a train.

      Naw he needs to stay on the road. I aint trying to be smelling everyones full meals on the train home.

      I say as my citys public transit, which is poorly/corruptly run, is about to lessen services even further. Sad times.

        Might not smell too bad by itself, but then it combines with the lingering hobo piss and someone smoking ditch weed.

        Howdy pardner, maybe Strong Towns can help? Look and see if there’s a local chapter for your city and reach out to them. If not, start one! It’s pretty easy, they have a lot of great resources to support you, and getting a group started is as easy as showing up to a few city councils and networking with other speakers or putting a flyer up at the library or local coffee shop!

      Yeah. Many don’t understand that at least 15% of drivers should have their license revoked. But we can’t do that when there are no viable alternatives. So instead they get to roll the dice daily until they maybe kill themselves or others.

        “other people are bad drivers” isn’t that hard of a sell tbh. The problem comes when you try to suggest alternatives.

        As a typical American with little public transit experience, I’m right there with you. My understanding from people who do use public transit, though, is that eating a meal on the metro is a heresy deserving of immediate and excruciating death.

          Its a sensory thing IMO. You’re subjecting a captive audience to smells that may linger. Not to mention potentially making a mess for someone else to clean up

            Just going at a rotisserie like Cookie Monster would be rude, but regular riders learn to ignore most things, so I doubt anyone would say anything.

          In general, yeah. But it really depends; if it’s a mom and her kid, or if it looks like someone shuttling between multiple jobs and this is the only time they have, then I’d give em a pass.

            Fuck that. It’s a slippery slope. I’d argue public spaces like that need to serve their purpose singularly to be effective and useful to the public. It’s hard enough to run a transit system, being a mobile cafeteria in addition will only serve to degrade an already precarious service. Not to mention it’s incredibly rude to subject your fellow riders to the accompanying crumbs and grease, no matter your own circumstances.

    This is literally me, I’ll eat tacos while driving.

    Hell last week I ate a full pizza while driving on the highway and at some point I mentally stopped when I realized I had eaten it all and said “this might be problematic”

      Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.
