"you have said that human beings behind the wheel have no remorse or feelings. Do you really not realize how absurd that sounds? "

No I don't, being that besides seeing it, and waiting for the day that drivers who aren't truckers and bus drivers have courtesy and non assholish self-centered tendencies. Also, ask any psychoanalyist or other professional. There was another one of those "worlds worst drivers" shows on Discovery last night, and if I watched it, I bet they'd have one on again.

There's a reason that I'm not doing insurance for the time being dispite it's pay, location flexibity, and great holiday benefits. I don't want to deal with the self centered assholes.

Once again, don't stop traffic by commiting suicide, they'll throw rocks at you for stopping that traffic. I was taken back when the favorite bridge of jumpers was closed once and the things that people called in to the radio. Unbelievable. And I'm waiting for all these hit and run people to turn themselves in. Deadlest predistrian city right here...I don't know why anyones walking except I guess they all have suspended licenses or can't afford a car. But maybe someday a week will go by when someone doesn't kill someone and drive off. That'll be the day.
My favorite, besides all the old people who should be in homes, is the fat guy with the cane who got mad, and ran over a LARGE group of cyclist because they were on his side/residential street. He continues to drive without a license today and has no remorse.
But that starts one of those vents of stories that every cyclist has and will start if you bring it up to them about what drivers do to them. There's a watercooler, radio, newspaper letter topic that has no end.

Why do I get sucked into these divorced from reality conversations? Where I have to give expert witness, anticdotes, stories, news reports; and the other side just says something like "that's absurd"? I guess I like to share.

Frankly, as much as I love the cross country drive, it ruins my day. I'd rather be the only jew riding the trams in Portland(though there are a LOT of gay people there, never seen a gay anti-semite). But the pay and benefits are really good dealing with this crap.

Seriously, you're going to tell me that all these a-holes on the road aren't completely self-centered on the way to work, going on sidewalks and highway medians? The New York drivers were always the worst. And the Michigan/Ohioians were always the most oblivious. So you can't be fer real. And if I find the driver who gives a crap, that's not a professional, I'll dedicate a webpage to them.

Some do. Can't use Laura bush for an example, since she hit someone she knew. I don't know the percentages. But for driving style, most of them don't care about you while they're racing to work, because god forbid they leave 3 minutes early.
