• I’d enjoy driving if I were the only person on the road

    I think that's the best way to explain my compunctions about driving to my dad, thanks for the help.

    Right. Like it's not the car. The car is great.
    I understand the machine.
    Baring mechanical failure of some sort, it's just going to do whatever I tell it to.

    But the humans.... None of those mutha fuckas are trustworthy.
    I drive like every idiot is purposely trying to make me crash 🤷‍♀️

    💯Majority of people would benefit from public transport than a car

    most of the population should NOT be in charge of several-ton death machines and i will die on this hill.

    Same.

    I also have trouble driving at night, lights are too bright and make depth perception hard.

    Especially if there were no cops

    God, I hate people.

  • I know this is a meme. My wife is an extremely skilled driver, and I absolutely love her for that.

    I do have to be her passenger prince though. I am legitimately unsafe to have on the road, for myself and other people 🥲 It's very isolating having a car dependent society I cannot access.

    robust public transit for the American people when???

    I’ve been forced into driving because I’ve moved to a very rural part of australia. Crashing my car is on my 2026 bingo sheet 😭

    stay safe and awake out there!

    I probably shouldn’t drive tbh, I have crash related ptsd that triggers with certain motions in the car (rapid braking, hydroplaning, etc) that cause me to leak water uncontrollably from my eyes, which isn’t great for visibility. But I can’t commute to my job without a car and I need to support my wife while she finishes school so she can support me lmao. I have a handful of friends that can’t drive and it’s so restricting (for them I mean, I can tell how frustrating it is for them and I hate that we don’t have many alternatives here)

  • Real. I would love to learn how to drive a regular transmission car as well as a motorcycle. Rip around everywhere hehe

    if I can get my hands on a catfish camaro that's what I'll be doing soon enough 😈

  • I dont get these jokes because she said that it CAN be hard, not that everyone with autism finds it hard

  • For some reason my mic doesn’t work with Squad so I find I’m most effective as a tank driver who just has to listen to the commander >_<

    I had that same issue years ago, check your firewall settings to make sure it's not blocking any audio signals to and from the game.

  • I have a diagnosed slow reaction time and bad vision so I don't think driving will be in my near future

  • *Can be. I've got that unnaturally good car/vehicle operator/driver/pilot autism.

    Me too. I am the only one in my friends group which is "brave" enough to drive cars bigger than a sedan. (pilot I don't know, I am not allowed to get a flight license because of my eyes)

    Every vehicle I have ever been in control of immediately feels like an extension of my body.

    A blatant example is when I lapped everyone twice from my HS senior group at the go kart place we went to, despite me never having a licence. I have a license these days.

    I hate it. The rules of the road are the rules of the road. I’m so good at it. Other drivers scare the shit out of me thi

    She says "can be" lol

  • Wesley Willis my beloved~

    When I say "Rock", gimme a headbutt.

  • Smh she clearly never watched drive with Ryan Gosling

  • I can't drive. I dont like being on a bike either. I find the visual stimulation too overwhelming, and it makes any response time I have go down the drain.

    I only tried driving a few times. I almost drove into a ditch. The emergency brake had to be pulled bc I froze up while trying to back up. Sucks.

  • Spent 9h almost without stops drifting and rallying in heavy snow yesterday

    Today Im starting work again which is just 160h of driving cramed into 2 weeks (inhumane I know)

    Its really not bad just pray to God I dont encounter a complex intersection or heavy traffic or Im shutting off and burning a few villages to calm down

  • me enjoying a 2 week 2000 mile road trip while driving a stick up the eastern seaboard

  • I can’t see with all this noise!

  • I do not want to drive because I’m already bad at walking when I’m in a busy street.

  • The real reason it can be hard for a lot of us is because we'd rather be on a train
