It’s almost like gas being 5 times more expensive traffic being 3 times as bad, cars not being fun and the coming doom due to our dependence on fossil fuels not to mention 20 years of blood on our hands from oil wars has made driving less appealing…

What do you mean cars not being fun? Some of the best cars to drive ever exist now.

Also there are zero people who stopped driving due to “ blood on our hands”. How silly. There are literally people driving through war zones today to go to their jobs, come back to reality

Congestion makes driving not fun. If you want to have fun, take a car to a track, that's not what the public roads are for.

I think what they meant was that the roads are designed for everyone to get where they're going as safely as possible. They're not for "having fun", which usually translates into some selfish kid who watched too many F&F movies thinking their endorphin rush is more important than everyone else on the road.

You absolutely do not get to decide what public roads are for. You're also in a thread where it explicitly states LESS people are driving, so LESS congestion. And during the pandemic there was almost NO congestion in many areas. I have no idea what you're talking about. The whole US vs a handful of beltways.

You are wrong - I stopped driving because of the endless oil war in Iraq.
