Me driving: "Is anyone around? Cause if not I'm about to pull some real bullshit."
proceeds to do a kulbit with a car while drifting
“No one died, we’re cool.”
When I started driving again recently after a 20 year hiatus I was getting upset when I made mistakes; running stop signs, forgetting indicators, etc.
But then I realised all I was doing was making it hard to concentrate, which could lead to more errors, maybe even a fatal crash.
I quickly adopted this "Oops that was illegal but it's fine" attitude. Notice my mistake, and move on.
It's probably a healthy mindset to be hard on yourself for running stop signs, you're gonna get somebody killed dude
It's only murder if they die.
I already had the motivation to drive correctly, getting upset wouldn't improve that motivation, just make driving more difficult.
I pride myself on being a safe and courteous driver. We all make mistakes, especially when learning.
"DAMN! I ran the red light. But actually it wasn't my fault, the light switched to yellow just as I was checking my rear mirror, I had no time to react by the time I glanced forward again. Oh well. It's fine."
-- Maybe me.
get of the car, take the bus
Perhaps if there were some around that had any chance of taking me somewhere I wanted to go
you know there's plenty of people that live outside of cities where there is no buses right?
