This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

      … and this right here ladies and gentlemen, are the kinds of people who you share the road with. Someone that was competent enough at a time to pass a multiple-answer test, but somehow still knows nothing, and will argue about their answer and flawed reasoning.

      Just something to think about on the way to work. I was a first-responder to something like 7 collisions, from motorcycle riders getting cut off, to pregnant teenagers running red lights and almost losing the baby, to people getting rear-ended at highway speeds and trapped in their cars. Physics doesn’t give two shits about technicalities and what-ifs. Stay safe, everyone.

        This specific situation

        The original comment of mine and every one since has been a joke.

        Take that stick out of your arse and stop letting it post walls of text.

          Ever see a standup comedian try to repeat a joke when people didn’t laugh at it in the first place, and figured they just didn’t get it the first time?

          If a whole lot of people are collectively deciding it’s not funny, stop trying to make it work.

      Technically correct, the best kind of correct
