    the hard part of learning to drive isn’t learning how to drive, it’s learning how to drive accounting for the fact that everybody sucks at driving

    that’s not really an issue with a forklift

      There are two driving lives. The first one begins when you get your license. The second one begins when you realize at least half the cars you see everyday are driven by dangerous morons whos intelligence and awareness are far surpassed by the average dog. A good red flag for a dangerous idiot is tailgaters and people who don’t keep the 3 car safety distance. “I want you to go faster so I’m going to get my front as close as I can to your rear and blind you with ultrabrights!” “How bout I go 5 miles slower just to piss you off you stupid fucking animal.”

        even ignoring the spite factor, you actually should go slower, since you need more time to slow down if something happens ahead of you or they’ll rear end you
