It’s so telling that when I say speeding is dangerous, you believe that I don’t also think that not using your blinkers, not leaving the left lane for passing, and running red lights is dangerous. Take responsibility for your actions instead of building a strawman to feel justified in your behaviour.

Aaand there it is. You’re a speeder and therefore a dangerous driver and refuse to take responsibility for the fact that you are making roadways more dangerous for yourself and everyone around you. You don’t see yourself as a bad person, so the fact that people like you could get punished for behaving in a way you think is fine and redeemabke makes you angry. You’re impatient and want to save a few minutes of “lost time” from traffic and believe the solution is to speed rather than leaving a few minutes earlier, advocating for traffic calming measures, fewer cards on the road, more effective roadways, effective public transportation etc. all of which would make it safer and easier for everyone, including yourself, to make it where they need to go on time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out in a clear manner! Makes it a lot more accessible for myself and future readers to take a more active part in the politics of our country.

How can I effectively write to my MP about this? Like what format etc? I’ve never done so. I think this bill needs to be vastly rewritten to only contain the necessary and valuable stuff.

I have a semi system at this point for most of my stuff. I don’t carry much with me though.

Me?

Never.

(Perhaps)

That took me a moment.

Definitely explainable by mere coincidence, and only really a little strange but in the interest of contributing more content to Lemmy:

In 2015 I had a dream that I met with Markiplier in person. I don’t remember the details of anything, but I remember him extremely distraught, crying, like someone had died and me trying my hardest to console him. The very next day he posted the video talking about his friend Daniel Kyre’s passing. Im certain there was no post or anything that I saw regarding this before seeing that video.

I had very frequent nightmares and also watched a lot of Markiplier at the time, so it’s really just a timing coincidence.

Huh, I just considered I don’t have a typical pocket I put my phone in. I’m right handed and I think I tend to put my phone in my left pocket more? Maybe? But I just took it out of my right pocket so I’m not sure.
