When the light turns green, regardless of position in line, I wish everyone knew it was their signal to take their fking foot off their brake and begin idling forward / accelerating instead of waiting until the car infront of them moved.
I look left and right first. So many red lights being run in BR....and really everywhere. Gimme a second, arsehole.

Ban together and treat important things like they did Bud Light.
Overthrow every single current politician and the corrupt system it’s become instead of sitting on their arse complaining.
Ban together and go to war with criminal activity and stand your ground instead of continuing to move further and further away from work and entertainment districts your tax dollars pay for.

Even if you take your foot off your brake a second or two before the car infront of you, at normal stopping distances you still will not hit the car infront of you at idle.
And this is why the average driver needs to wait until the car in front of them starts moving. It seems like no one stops at normal driving distances. They all need to pull up as far as possible when stopped at a light/intersection. I could not tell you how many times I am at a red light, I look in my rear-view mirror, and I cannot see the hood on the car behind me.

Since people already turned it political, I wish society would truly get fed up with the politicians and stop voting for the incumbent because you recognize their name. You can completely flip the house and 1/3 of the Senate damn near every election; yet it appears outside of a handful of races they are already decided and 90% of the incumbents are back in office. And people will continue to bitch about the government no longer working for the people they are supposed to represent.

Just simply be mindful of others and show kindness and respect. That solves damn near every other problem in this world.

Paint a line about 3 feet from the baggage carousel and tase anyone who stands closer than that before their bag has come out.

Also…realize and be honest that a work from home culture is not nearly as good for society as a whole long term.

According to google, the average driver aged 75 years old spends 74 days of their life sitting at traffic lights. I think people could get a least 1/2 of that back utilizing this simple concept.
That's a great argument for trains and light rail.
It is amazing (-ly obtuse) to me that people can understand this problem, and then come to the conclusion that our transportation system would be fine if only everyone suddenly became smarter and more efficient drivers.
First, that's completely unrealistic. Second, even if it weren't, it would barely make a dent.
Support public transportation and get 74 days of your life back.

99% of the time the 2nd car in line is much slower to take off.
Most of the time they are looking at the car and driver behind them in the side mirror instead of what is front of them thus slowing them down even more . It's weird AF.
Also would like to add that drivers need to embrace the zipper merge.

People don’t drive aggressive enough in traffic. Research has shown that people need to be less apprehensive and aggressively rude when driving.
Every moment that you aren’t moving after the light turns green is wasted time.
Don't let people in. If there’s traffic and they’re pulling out of a parking lot or side street then they need to wait. If there’s not enough open room for them to get in on their own then the street is already over crowded and letting them in only compounds the problem.
When you pull into a driveway or parking lot don’t think that just because your front tires have made it over the threshold that you can take it easy. So many people come to near complete stops once they’ve started pulling in. You’ve still got the other half of your car in the road. Hurry up and get your entire car out of traffic.
Don’t let people over in dense highway traffic. Everyone needs to stick to their lane and keep traffic moving as best it can. Letting people over requires you to waste space/momentum and they also aren’t going to be as efficient in their lane. Get over when space permits. Just like above, if there isn’t enough space for them to get over naturally then your lane is already too congested.
If someone needs to get over because they’re in the wrong lane (didn’t realize they were in a turn lane or didn’t realize they needed to turn at this light or whatever) … tough shite. They need to keep traffic flowing and keep following their current lane. They’ll have to wait until the next light, turn, or wherever. They fricked up and they’ll have to drive a little extra to get where they need to be, but they don’t get to impede the flow of traffic and force the rest of us to suffer for their mistake.
When it comes to merging onto the highway … Jesus Christ, the merge lane is for you to accelerate and match the speed of the highway! If someone has to slow down to keep from hitting you then you’ve fricked it up.
When it comes to merging because of an accident or whatever … use the entire available lane and zipper merge towards the end of the lane. But don’t wait so late that you have to slow down or someone else has to slow down more so that you can merge!
Do NOT slow down before you get completely in the exit lane. That’s what the extra lane is for, and don’t hit the brakes so much that you need to get on the accelerator again before you’ve gotten to the next road or traffic light.
I’m sure I could go on and on but these are my biggest aggravations during my daily commute.

End 24-hour “cable” news. It has divided the country to the point of destroying it from within. It did not start with 9/11, but that is what popularized those channels. Bin Laden is winning the war on America from the grave and it is highly correlated to “cable” news’s popularity.

Reinstate vagrancy laws.

People exiting 12 in to 21 north wanting to turn left on Ochsner really, really, really need to read this!

Drag people out of their cars who play on their phones while driving, especially on the interstate. Beat them within an inch of their lives, and leave them on the side of the road as a message to others.
