No mental gymnastics needed. The laws of physics don't give a fuck about who obeys the traffic laws and who doesn't. As long as people keep the same distance between cars we should be safe.

What are you arguing? It’s not the obligation of the driver ahead to make sure the car behind them keep their distance.

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Sure, but you can do it by matching the speed of the car behind you, therefore making both of you more safe.

Actually, it is a driver's job to avoid and/or mitigate a wreck by any means necessary. The only mental gymnastics taking place are yours. You're arguing against the wording of multiple driver's manuals.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
