Dash is pretty much the only game in town I think. Good dude. Not sure who’s still involved but they were great guys years ago.

My apologies for calling a female who looked like a teenager and was having a panic attack a girl.

Usually if it's a female driving, it's a woman.

What should we do about statistically dangerous roads with high traffic where minor mistakes can lead to big wrecks?

I know Dash on Broadway has a courier service, though you'll have to ask them if they are hiring.

Lol.. I’m aware of the massive rent hike that happened after 2020, it wasn’t necessarily covid but sure.

Was it because of a DUI? Was it because of texting and driving? Was it because you had no lights on? Was it because of miss use of lanes? You got to be a little more specific obviously different scenarios a different penalties it shouldn’t even have to come to the point of somebody getting into an accident. People should be reprimanded before accidents happen routine traffic stops And heavy fines that will take care of a lot of bullshit on the road just like Massachusetts does if it was me the first offense for DUI would be a heavy find of at least $2000 and loss of license for three months first offense second offense suspended license indefinitely that’s the kind of penalties that should be out there texting and driving should be exactly the same way as DUI first offense a couple of thousand dollars second offense you lose your license indefinitely. That way the message gets across quickly and you’ll see how fast people put their phones down. It’s that simple. Also, the police officer should not be allowed to give out written warnings, unless it is an absolute legitimate excuse, which is very rare. When it comes to livelihood and paying out-of-pocket, it’s amazing how fast people straighten out and all of a sudden have common sense and use their brains.

What is a fair punishment for being at fault for a motor vehicle accident?

I go to The Italian Corner for their wildly popular grinders (featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, BTW).
But every time I pick up I notice the amazing looking deli meats, cheeses, etc. They also sell prepared meals and sauces that look great.
Give them a call.

I had a dream where I moved to Los Angeles and got so mad at highways being "the 10", "the 101", "the 405" etc that I started getting really fucking snide about it and using "the" in front of every street name with this disgusted tone.

It’s not comparable. Covid disrupted rent prices so much here.

No?! It was?? … as I said “I know a few years ago it wasn’t close” I was just making the comparison 😉

I want him to put his finger on a map and point to the state Rhode Islanders are supposed to move to so they can retake their driving exam and move back home without being a danger to society in his eyes

Mr. OctoberRust13, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Lmao! I have been able to use Bennys as a waypoint before.
It’s also boggling to me how little people here travel within their own state. If I have to hear “pack a lunch” when I make the 30 minute drive to providence one more time I’m in danger of going blind from my eyes rolling back.

Have you tried adding cumbys or bennys into the directions?

Alright then how do you propose this issue gets fixed? Putting your ego in the way isn’t gonna help.
It’s not like the Rhode Island gene pool is permanently cursed as far as driving goes.
There’s a lot of outside factors and variables that play into this.
I would love to hear your opinion on how you would solve this very fixable problem.

As a transplant I feel this. I’ve been here almost 15 years and still people can tell when I give directions. I don’t use enough former landmarks.
