Honestly at this point, and I say this with much nuance as a more aggressive-leaning driver, I think I’m going to start erring on the side of extreme caution here. It seems people on this road are too stupid to think while driving. So if I just be the most predictable basic bitch in the road with my signals on for half a mile, sure I may get flicked off or honked at, but maybe someone doesn’t have to go to the hospital, or someone elses car doesn’t get totaled. Or mee-maw bringing the trash in doesn’t get clipped.

Believe me when I say, I get what you’re saying with the happy medium, but I don’t think it can be achieved on this road, at least not how it is now. Been here 2 years now and it seems to have only gotten worse.

Despite CONSTANTLY seeing police pulling people over. I mean if you were a thief, and you know SO MANY PPL get caught stealing from Lowes, would you still steal from that Lowes?

OK, I understand where you're coming from. There's certainly different types of "graphic" beyond gore. Having not experienced war and trench warfare specifically, I'm not sensitive to such depictions in film and lit. I can see how others, like those with PTSD as you mention, would have difficulty viewing or reading things that many just consider media to be consumed and analyzed.

Heck yeah, love to see it! More people taking the train the better, because it shows the demand for alternatives to car and plane travel. Hopefully one day we have high-speed rail all along the east coast.

Insane. Yea I’m from Miami, so lots of accidents, lots of crazy drivers, generally higher speed limits. But you see FAR less of that going down in such popular areas, let alone areas that are KNOWN to be monitored heavily by police. People here drive this way because they KNOW they can get away with it 9/10 times.

At Horsepen and Monument the other day, a car in front of me made a left turn on red a solid two seconds after the light changed. Like we got to the front of the left turn lane when it turned, they paused for 2 seconds, then went anyway as the cars coming straight who now had green almost hit them. It wasn't even close.
