I ran errands today, partly on protected infrastructure -which wasn't exactly safe b/c snow clearing was bungled- and on sidewalks the rest of the way -b/c I did not want to get killed by a car driver.

I mean, presumably the perpetrator will now claim that this is exactly what happened, in hope of a pardon.
I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real.

It's striking how many people will come onto the internet and admit to being in the worst 10, 5, or 1% of drivers in the country, and expect to get praised for it.
Most people do not get any tickets in a given year, and those that do are disproportionately likely to harm others.

Re that Discourse about drunk driving.
A recent driver killed had
-DUI traffic citations in 2016 related to a crash (probation before judgment)
-2 motor tort suits in 2018
-23 traffic citations (including DUI & going 87 in a 55 highway work zone) in October 2025, in the vehicle he was killed in

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.
