west coast is too passive about it in some places. i’ve pulled a turn and then seen a car in my mirror like 5 feet from my bumper, slamming its breaks. now i know i need to be more cautious around these low visibility intersections… but he didn’t even honk at me: how much unsafe shit am i pulling without knowing it because nobody ever tells me. honk at me, for god’s sake!

another issue here is the sheer number of people who drive with their lights off after dusk. because if i flash my lights at them to alert them of it, they don’t get it. because the tendency here is to interpret any form of communication as aggression instead of as communication 😐 which, i mean… “self-fulfilling prophecy” isn’t quite it but it’s not far from the mark.
