100 years ago, no mode of transportation dominated the roads. Pedestrians, trams, bicycles, cars, and animals all shared the road together. It’s only a recent development that all the roads in the country have become dominated by the products of the automotive industry. This is not going to last that much longer. The roads will eventually return to being shared between different modes of transportation, with no individual mode dominating the road.
You are not entitled to the road because you purchased the deadly, inefficient, expensive, and environmentally destructive product of the automotive industry. You live in a city, and that means that people are going to get in your way, whether they’re in a car, on foot, or on a bike. You’re just going to have to live with that.
bicycle: most proletarian mode of transportation, Maoist China approved, the poorest people in the world all ride bicycles
car: literally created by the bourgeois industry, most people in the world can’t even afford one, environmentally destructive and selfish, considered “proletarian” by global north labor aristocrats eating the blood of brown children, car drivers always fantasizing about murdering others
Or the “jogger” at the bottom of the hill running opposite of traffic in the middle of a lane wth opposite traffic oncoming on 55 and 1.5 seconds for me to slam on the breaks and sound the horn to get off the road because physics won’t allow my car to stop even though I am following the rules
being aware that at pre dawn morning work hours they aren’t visible on a 55mph hill side
Is “assured clear distance ahead” not a rule where you are?
No. Which is why I’m required to slow down. In case there’s something on the other side. Which I can’t see. And I need to be able to stop without hitting it.

Are hills transparent where you are?
No. Which is why I’m required to slow down. In case there’s something on the other side. Which I can’t see. And I need to be able to stop without hitting it.
Maybe they should do a city, rural poll. Driving mentality is very different.
Why dont you drive slower if you’re going to crest a hill and have no visibility lol, or is the maximum speed the minimum speed to you
