Ha! Both funny and fairly accurate descriptions. I appreciate the seriousness of some of the European drivers, but it's apparently crazy expensive to get a license and plates there, so they don't play.

I am very excited for self driving cars, just need them to get better. They still some of the same dumb things we do,.just maybe statistically less on a grand scale?

This was also very enlightening.

Now that I saw this, I realize I do it too.

I wonder if that should be a teaching point in driver's Ed. I don't think things like this were pointed out back in the day. Of course the study isn't very old.

I had no idea the data was this bad. I hate sitting at lights, and I loathe sitting at a light with no traffic. It has basically become a stop sign for me now.

Seeing this, I at least understand why there's the push to reverse it.

I was hoping they'd been around long enough that driver's education would teach it and older generations would pick it up.

I feel like people's aren't very interested in learning them, which is the only real bummer in my opinion.

Also,.Carmel put one in that's super small, it's not my favorite. People start acting like it's not an intersection.

Having said that, I drove through a town in Scotland, that literally just painted a white circle in the middle of the intersection. It was weird. I assume to save money or since there wasn't much space, but it negates the ability for the landscape to stop a run through driver.

Carmel police call the circles drunk traps because people tend to plow into the middle, which is way better than head on. Plus it stops them from going longer travel distance I guess.

Dude that sucks, that would be so annoying.

Doesn't the Democratic party have complete majority control of most cities and the state legislature?

That's a party which usually claims to be about taking care of poor people or 'housing is a human right', but I keep seeing evidence that part of California's issue is residents eliminating any/all zoning that isn't classic single family homes in places where there's tons of good jobs, but super expensive housing.

It's hard to wade through political party propaganda, but I thought this was well documented.

I don't live in CA, so I don't really know more than articles publish, but it just seems like they voted for the more American liberal/progressive party and still aren't getting those values?

I'm sure corporations like this would give you free Internet if they could collect and sell all your data. I'm also sure people would still do it, regardless of how much they are being monetized as a product.

Since companies like Facebook own legislators, our only real choice is to stop using it. Unpopular opinion, but If you really want fuck Zuck, delete your account, and get all your friends and family to as well. Maybe there's some alternatives for the people who truly use the service to connect with friends/family?

Personally, I went from hating this idea, to loving it after I starting driving in them.

After spending time driving in Carmel, I can't stand traffic lights anymore. Everything got downgraded in my mind: Traffic lights became stop signs, stop signs became yield, yield became...well still yield (I'm not a sociopath).

Sound places have built terrible versions of roundabouts, so I'm sure those populations aren't impressed.

I did drive through one that was off an interstate exit and had heavy tractor-trailer traffic, that actually directly connected to a truck stop. To my surprise, it was glorious. It was fairly large, so the trucks had plenty of ability to go around without running over curbs, and it made all the traffic going in and out of the big truck stop / gas station pretty smooth. I was genuinely impressed. I think it was southern Indiana around the 69 project, but I can't remember.

I am going to pile on both of these comments with "heck yes"!

I love roundabouts, and I really like the skybridge network around the government and convention center. It would be cool to keep that going like crystal city in DC.

The society of Idiocracy doesn't know who Jemison is without an explanation.

Lol at me, I needed context, and I have to Google Monae.

Shatner is just name recognition. I really don't care about actors and singer much. I at least respect science.

Looks like he'll be checking out college town, lucky them.

Firstly, you can't punch retards (current Republicans extremist lead group). /S I seriously don't even know where to start with that party. Totally fucked.

So that leaves me with American left. After the millionth devotee to try and convince me Biden is actually a good candidate instead of realizing how terrible things have been going, yeah, I'm punching party leadership.

They did this to us. They put us in a tough spot. Just like with Hillary v Fuck. That's how fuck won. He didn't win, American left lost. There's a difference.

They've made it very hard to sell their party, other than by default because the only other option is fucked and talks about being a dictator. He's not even kidding.

This is my frustration and opinion.
