Here's why you should stop driving and take transit instead
I'm not out to save the planet.
I'm just trying to save your life.
Aging has made me risk sensitive, and I have come to realize that driving a motor vehicle is one of the most dangerous things you can do.
Here's why.
When you're tooling your two-tons of metal & plastic down the highway at 88 feet per second, your well-being is entirely in the hands of others tooling the other way. Their good judgement is all that stands between a good day and four tons of metal colliding in the middle of the highway.
What do you know about these people?
Nothing!
How many are clinically depressed?
How many are on prescription drugs?
How many are zonked on Xanax?
How many are filled with anger, despair, and rage?
Why are you on the same road as these people?
Ditch the car and take the bus! Save the planet and save your life!
