This is the same line of thinking as, "if everyone drove like me, there'd be no traffic," (a phrase used exclusively by terrible drivers).
If everyone drove like me there'd be no traffic. As I only pick up the car like once a month.
Covid was a great time with clear roads
No. It turns out driving and grabbing a bag while walking are actually very different activities.
It's the same attitude. People who disregard traffic laws to drive faster think everyone is causing the problem, without thinking about how their driving affects everyone else. The guy who gets up and grabs his bag first doesn't think about the 5 other people in the row who have to wait to get their bag, or that there are 50 rows of people that are all trying to do the same thing.
I use that phrase all the time and I'm not a terrible driver. In fact, I rarely drive at all. I work from home and live in a walkable area. So yeah, literally if everyone drove like me, there would be less traffic.
Fair enough. Most people mean, "If everyone drove 85 in the 55, ignored safe following distances, and didn't waste time signaling and checking their blind spots, there would be no traffic." Those people are not correct.
Project much?
