trying to share the lane with vehicles in the USA is very dangerous

    Ah, I can explain that “competitive mindset” - some are more interested in the destination than the leisure of the journey (travelling is not everyone’s cup of tea, I personally hate any travel after work). This is especially true for people with high workloads whose leisure time is measured in minutes rather than hours on an evening, or those with caring responsibilities and a medication schedule to deal with.

    Also, keep in mind, you’re being charged every second you travel (fuel), so for those forced into a car commute there is double the pressure to make the journey quickly and cheaply.

    If you’d like to empathise, think of it as working an extra 10-15 mins per day, and having to pay for doing so. You other option is to work an extra 2 hours a day without pay, in case you were wondering ;)
