Advice to Explorer Drivers

Sounds like you have an attitude problem, never mind requiring driving lessons.

It's better to do it my way! Just go faster still so that you aren't caught at the red light at all! Leave the sloths at the red light any drive fast enough so that YOU get in on the yellow.

with better judgment.

I guess our buddy Jack Sloth chose option #2. :)

If we could put both on one video tape, over the same route at the same time in the same traffic stream, then we might learn something.

It's embarrassing to be an American when I see crap like this - or anything from Detroit fpor that matter.

You got it.

In the video, I pass a SHITLOAD of Sloths. Do you see even one of them catch up to me and pass me in order to "get there sooner?" Over that several mile route, I surpassed the performance of every single Sloth Coaster who was travelling the same route at the same time in the same traffic stream.

Pfft. Your criteria or "performance" is singular, and stupid. "Proof by example". It's a "fallacy". Your repeated claims of your "proof" serve only to reveal, roughly, how stupid you are. "Very" covers it nicely.

And, you don't know how many you passed who made the same lights, and/ or were only a few seconds behind you once you did catch a light. -----

I have a friend who has an older model PT Cruiser. He and his wife love it.

Who's "we"...?

Since many if not most people do not see "routine driving as a game or a metaphor for warfare", from where must the perspective originate?

Could you be more vague?

Are you finding a lot of opposition to your right to drive? Or is it the manner in which you drive?

"Not your fault", huh?

"It's a fight"... "must win", huh?

I can see you've given this a lot of thought. -----

Laurence Sheld> I am uncomfortable and feel unsafe around people that view routine

It is not we who make it that way.

Driving, like other simple things you do to further your own life, SHOULD be routine, because nobody SHOULD be opposing in any way your right to do them.

But until everyone becomes that civilized -- that VALID -- it is a fight and one that we must win.

First we kill all the "sloths", then we find some new terminology to reflect our different techniques.

I think we'll have more in common than not.
