Think bigger. Think beyond individual situations and short-sidedness. Think of solutions to our problems, not petty exceptions to ideas. Think better.
The only way to improve our conditions on the road is to change the public perception to us. That can only come from each of us on the road, acting responsibly. Until we can shift OUR ideas of what is acceptable behavior, the roads cannot be safer.
Be safe. Peace.
