lol, you pompous dum-dum, this isn't about car vs anything. This is about you asking me to do something that I can't do safely, because you can't put yourself in someone else's situation due to lack of empathy.

I usually bike to work. 👍

Kindly fuck off carbrain, you've made it clear you have no problem using your car to block anyone else who also wants to use the road, there's no need for further discussion.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not blocking someone if I'm going the speed limit.

And they can use the road fine. Just drive behind me a few meters back, we're both going in the same direction, nobody is blocking anyone.

You're not too bright, son. Jesus Christ.
