Tell me about it. I’ve never hit one, but I have gotten somewhat close and they got mad about it.

But I need to practice for my cab driving test on Mote Prime.

Pedestrians are so pedestrian.

klaatu barada nikto…

and you really should get off the sidewalk

Oh hell! There are a lot of human motorists who don’t yield much more than a few millimeters of distance to pedestrians. And surprisingly, bus drivers are some of the worst in that respect.

You should figure in that people will not be a precise as you are and they don’t know what you are “thinking”/planning nor do you know exactly what others will do. (At least not yet – We are not Borg.)

That is part of “Defensive Driving”.

“Setting update, 1 centimeter.”

Not me. I have total faith in technology!

And for bicyclists. Many motorists seem to think they can pass a bike with only a few inches clearance but this puts the biker’s life in peril. PLEASE, people, allow plenty of space when passing a bike because a slight miscalculation can be fatal to him or her and subject you to prison time for vehicular manslaughter.

What is that in the driver’s seat? I don’t watch much pop culture so if it is from some movie I wouldn’t get it.

“…he stopped on a dime! Unfortunately, the dime was in Mr. Rococo’s pocket.”
