"Cut gas taxes. I see no reason why I should pay to support public transit"

"Fuck speed limits. I'm proud to break the law"

This sense of entitlement is insane.

My theory is that driving a vehicle feels the same as waiting in a line/queue, since you're not doing anything active. So people try and minimize their time "waiting" as much as possible. Even if they're already traveling at an extreme speed. Basically cars fuck with our brains.
