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.

The situational awareness the rear view mirror provides is important. I generally have an idea of where every single vehicle around me is and what they're doing at every moment when I drive. I know when a vehicle is behind me, next to me, entering my blind spot and leaving it, etc. This way I can't be surprised when any one of those vehicles does something unexpected. I've specifically been crashed into because the driver was not maintaining any situational awareness (they flat out said "I didn't even know you were there! My truck never beeped at me!")

This does admittedly get more difficult when there's more than a handful of cars around me but with practice I learned to shift from tracking individual vehicles to tracking vague masses of vehicles around me which is almost as good, but more prone to surprises
