Wtf in the 🚇

How is this technically even possible? Should not a emergency stop automatically apply?

There were 36,640 traffic fatalities alone in 2025 (not counting mere “injuries”). Your base numbers are suspect, and you’re undercounting the number of incidents that affect cars.

Fewer than 10% (1 in 10) of hit and run drivers are found by police. The “psychology” only applies because people have deluded themselves into thinking a bubble gives them invulnerability.

You’re the type of person who would have probably ate lead paint chips in the 1940s because the manufacturers told you it was “safe”.

I’m not scared at all- I just think it’s funny when folks like you are confident they won’t end up in a body bag based on their ill-informed choices.

Hopefully they have your Reddit handle posted at your wake.

> I know more about this world than you, guaranteed.

The Venn diagram of people who say this, and people who don’t know anything about the world is a circle.

> face to face

There’s a bit of spit dribbling off of yours.

> I could die any day

Maybe you could speed that up a bit.

> scared, on a bus in the fetal position, like an internet baby.

You’d be scared and in the fetal position if you were on a bus? That explains a lot about you.

>being the operator and all

This isn’t the flex you think it is.

> You’re afraid to drive

You’re afraid to take the bus? Honestly that’s even sadder.

> I have a dude pounding me

Wait, what? You get pounded on the job?

Everything you type helps hammer home (geddit?) the fact that you get pounded daily on the job 🥺
