      Distracted driving is a huge problem, but this is just dumb.

        I mean I guess ‘know thyself’ but I have a feeling vanishingly few people use the same part of the brain for singing as they do for driving

      Singing while driving keeps my brain alert for much longer. It keeps me engaged with the road. Not everyone’s brain works like yours.

      As a regular cyclist who used to depend on a bicycle for all transportation, and who has been intentionally run off the road more than once, hit by a semi trailer, hit by two mirrors, and who carries a rock in the left pocket specifically to take out and hold for people to see me holding in the same way people hold bricks while crossing streets or puddles…

      What the fuck no, that’s insane.

      What we NEED is integrated infrastructure that supports bicycles, and physical dividers separating bike lanes from car lanes.

      What drivers NEED is a company that actually cares about them instead of the bottom line. Amazon is the exact opposite of that.

      I’m in a full size truck (US) with 14’ trailer. It’s more than twice the size and weight of a typical vehicle. They don’t see me, either.

      But, then you go off the deep end advocating prison without due process and a solution no corporation would ever choose.
