    Yeah I cycle every day and most of the time everybody’s cool I’m cool you’re cool we’re all cool, but maybe once a month I see someone in a car do something absolutely car brained, like they forget they can take out a family with 1/16th a rotation of their steering wheel at the wrong time.

    I mean I drive on occasion, I know how easy it is to be stupid in a car.
