I took an Uber a few months ago and the guy had apparently just learned to drive. The entire time he was always mashing either the gas pedal or the brake, so it was constant speeding up and slowing down. I tried to tell him that he could sometimes just have his foot on neither pedal to cruise and get a smoother ride, but he looked at me like I'd just grown another head.
Reminds me of driving in LA. I did my usual Midwestern (oh there's a red light a couple hundred feet ahead, I'll start slowing now and come to a gentle stop" and the other drivers were visibly confused by this driving behavior. LA is very much a "slam on the gas, slam on the brake" kinda place. The minivan I inherited from my family in LA has wear on the break pedal that stems from this kind of driving, you have to push the pedal really hard for it to fully stop (2 mechanics have confirmed the breaks are in good working order)
