Car culture is so strong in the US that people post videos of themselves breaking the law in a 3500-pound vehicle and other drivers will empathize with their misfortune of being held accountable.
That's me driving the white Crown Vic on Blagden Ave at Allison St NW. DC has fined me $200. Should I pay or contest it?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the DC DMV, this vehicle (Maryland license plate PG0484) was fined $100 by a stop sign camera at Blagden & Allison on 9/29/2023—not $200.

What’s your opinion?

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.
ALT Wildland firefighter Michael Scott expresses disbelief that someone would be reckless with their fireworks. "When I specifically asked you not to?" he says, reflecting on how he asked SO NICELY, too.

Do I expect cars to get out of my way? Not really.
Do I expect drivers to realise that often they are the ones slowing down other people? It's give and take. Just fucking chill. You aren't delivering organs to sick children.

You can legally drive this 14,500 lb vehicle in every city in the US that has banned 35 lb e-scooters for "safety reasons" with the same exact license you received in high school.
This country is consistently "exceptional" l in the worse sense of the word.

Whether it’s AOC believing that the US should have single-payer health care or MTG believing that Hillary Clinton killed a kid, skinned the kid, and wore the kid’s skin as a face mask, charismatic women on both sides of the aisle have espoused controversial opinions.

He then proceeded to shout at me as he drove away calling me both "Karen" and "bitch". Because I shook my head after he almost hit me with his SUV.
