minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoI agree about pedestrians, but cars changing lanes should to be aware of their surroundings, including cars that are approaching them. Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates How do you define “unreasonable” though, especially with EVs that can accelerate quickly?
