    Thank you! I honestly get pretty anxious, especially in my dingy little car, going the speed limit.

    Completely agree around the “good drivers” fallacy. We’re all human - emotional, tired, thinking about other things.

    And the risk and consequences of a crash increase disproportionately with speed while the time gain has diminishing returns. So I’m happy getting there 5 mins later after 2 h of driving safely and calmly

      I’ve been taking the bus to work some days and the emotional difference between riding bumpers for 30 minutes and being on the bus listening to tunes and reading for 50 is noticeable. I miss the bus on days when I take the car in.
