    but there’s crazy people on the subway

    You don’t think there’s crazy people on the highway? And on the highway they’re controlling a 2 ton killing machine in a sometimes stressful situation.

    I’ll take the crazy guy yelling in the corner of the subway then see what he’s like behind the wheel of one of those huge pickup trucks during traffic.

      Yeah like what the fuck? Every time I drive on a highway I encounter at least one potential life-ending moment, where if I hit the breaks one second too late I’ll die. This is absolutely a trillion times worse than the slim chance of getting a subway car lit on fire lol

        Then you are not giving the proper distance. If you experience this every time you drive you are probably the problem.

        If you’re having near death experiences every single day, that has to be something you’re doing wrong.

      I’m with you but driver’s licenses are meant to help weed those out. I think they are likely rarer but not uncommon.
