A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I was the car behind him the other day. Except it was a truck or SUV, like an Escalade or something. You know, those guys who think they own the road. The funny thing is, they had just run a red light in front of me. They didn't beat the yellow, either. It was red when they got there. They just decided the red light was only for the working folks. Fortunately they didn't get hit crossing. Got a few horns though. So I thought it was funny as hell that I rolled up behind them at the next stop. They were the first one there, and they rolled just past the line right onto the crosswalk. Absolutely tracked for how they'd been driving.
Maybe I could have downloaded the dashcam video and posted it somewhere, but I'm not a rat. The cops will catch this guy eventually. I don't need to be a part of it. People bitch about the cost of the ticket, but they don't realise they're not just paying for the one time they got caught, they're paying for all the times they didn't. That they didn't get away with it and now the bill has come due. That's what their saved time was worth. If it's too much, maybe next time they'll just leave earlier, drive safer. If it's not... they won't learn.
I would say post the dashcam. People that drive and behave like this endanger other people every day, better to pull their licence.
