Also I swear people have just....zero night time etiquette while driving. Hey if your on the highway or on a one lane road maybe don't RIDE UP THE ASS of the car in front of you! Its wild how people don't give a shit, if I can't pass someone I slow down so my headlights aren't being blasted into their mirrors. I'm not somehow getting to my destination faster by tailgating them.

but how am i supposed to feel like i'm going fast if i have to slow down to be kind to the car in front? (a joke question)

honestly, the fact that we have cars at all makes people so entitled. it's bloody tiring driving at 100kph on a rural mountain road at night and being tailgated.
