That my abusive mother had 3 kids by a previous marriage. She gave up full custody so she could keep the (shitty, old) house. I learned this when I was 18 or 19.
About once or twice a year I have a bad day and turn into a shitty driver unwittingly. Maybe I accidentals cut someone off. Maybe I dont stop fast enough or have o slam my brakes.
Every day I drive near 1000+ people also otw to work. If the math for them remains solid the 3-6 of them every day are unwittingly having their bad day.
Try to give the benefit of doubt when you cross one of theme maybe they are perfect drivers the other 364 days of the year...
This isn't just good advice for driving, but good advice for life. None of us really know what's going on in each other's lives, all you know is a vanishingly small sliver.
We all need to be nicer to each other. It's a cold world out there, no reason to keep shoveling shit on top of someone.
You have to go somewhere and do the same thing like, all day, whether you're interested or not. And it's way longer than school. On the plus side, there's usually no homework.
