@DoorDash_Help hey, super uncool to start a bg check right in the middle of Friday dinner rush. You gave me 9 minutes advance notice via email. And best part is, I cant even view my Crimson bank account because its built into the app. So now the money I did have I cant access. Could you guys care any less about us???

Hey, just cuz you have the walk light at a road crossing, doesn’t mean the motorists are aware of your presence at night. Mistakes were made, by me as well. I coulda had my blinky light on. I coulda been wearing lighter clothing, vs the urban camo hoodie. I coulda expected the double turn lane people to be less attentive, as they always are. The truth is, pedestrian and cyclist collisions with cars aren’t because cars are inherently evil. It’s because humans are prone to making silly mistakes, even when the potential pitfalls are top of mind. Driver was apologetic, he sent me some cash, and we parted ways with no harsh words. I’m just glad I didn’t take the big hit on my right elbow that’s inflamed with tendinitis right now! 😆

Which would you choose for a cross-country trip? BMW X1 gas, or Benz EQB electric? . #bmw #MercedesBenz #ultimatedrivingmachine #autoreviews #bmwx1 #mercedeseqb #ev #roadtrip #crosscountrytrip

Have you ridden in a @waymo self-driving taxi? Would you? After moving to Phoenix, I couldn’t imagine taking an Uber with a human driver. I’ve had way too many bad experiences with them, and the thought of trusting someone in this chaotic driving environment is stomach-turning to me. #selfdriving #waymo #ai #automation #MachineLearning #futureofdriving

3 steps for actually improving #drivingsafety: 1) Focus on the most common inefficient / unsafe driving habits of average drivers 2) Refrain from condescending name-calling, such as “carbrain” 3) Reduce pointless ranting about “speeders”

If anti-car folks actually cared about improving transit safety, they’d drop the dorky terminology that makes all of us collectively eye roll. Example: People who throw the corny phrase “carbrain” around. 🤡

@Vesemirr @BCarfree @Boenau You’re missing the point entirely.

@BCarfree @Boenau Every time I see someone use the term “carbrain,” I immediately picture them being given wedgies throughout their entire life…into adulthood. 🤓 No one takes that 💩 seriously.

@BetterDrivingUS Hilarious take… that said, I live in a “Vision Zero” city, and it’s literally the most dangerous transit environment I’ve ever been in. From driving to walking to bike to scooter. Until we increase the standards for who can drive, it’ll never be any safer. People are habitual.

@SouthportCorBik @Boenau Exactly. The meme actually is more accurate for him than the OP of the meme 🤔😂

@dbsb3233 @BetterDrivingUS @the_transit_guy It’s shocking how many young people can’t form words when spoken to by an adult today.

@BetterDrivingUS @the_transit_guy That’s been my experience living in urban environments that are walkable/bikeable. The larger the city, the less strangers interact…b/c that’s often a dumb risk to be taking. Smarter to keep to oneself and stay moving. Human interaction has little to do with transport modality.
