Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Public transport is the answer. But if that's not an option, a tip someone gave me once was to imagine all other drivers as toddlers. Its kind of a compassion hack. Or elderly on medication.
Imagine that all other drivers are late for something super important, stressed, and lost.
Assume all drivers are idiots until proven otherwise.
This is also a good safety practice for pedestrians (maybe even more than for drivers since when a car collides with a pedestrian they're more likely to die).
In practice most drivers are not idiots but the defensive practices of going around assuming they are definitelly pay up when you do face and idiot driver and avoid a collision (or, as a pedestrian, getting run over) because your level of being careful was the right one for being faced with an idiot driver.
