That is probably true sadly. Getting things changed sometimes seems impossible

Yeah. Some intersections are hard. I go through one daily that has a bike lane with a green light to cross a street while my turn rightinto that street light is also green. That means bikers may be aproaching from behind me at a weird angle, i hate that one. It is a balancing act I guess, safety for the driver and passengers vs visibility. Though nowadays you have all the new tech with sensors and cameras and the car basically yells at you that you're going to hit something so I guess that is not terrible.

I agree, but remaking it is probably too expensive for the town sadly. It has been complained about

Woah, relax. I didn't mention a thing about careless drivers hitting pedestrians, or trucks. I was just pointing out that airbags overall are good, even if you're supposed to put a little extra effort while driving.

Different countries i guess. Driving lessons last a while over here, and there is an actual test at the end of it that is very easy to fail. But I understand your point and agree with what you're saying about the drivers not appreciating the differences between then and now.

I'd rather have the airbag and have to move my head a bit to see than not have the bags. Surely driving instructors teach students that it is a blindspot of a sort and that you should keep it in mind, no?

That is true, but I think that this way they get the most that they can. Some people will go the direct route, and I think that a lot more will just go through steam. So it's good that they have this option too.

Philomena Cunk Returns! Diane Morgan’s Beloved Idiot Heads to the Movies With ‘Cunk on Cinema’ for BBC, Netflix
Might actually make a month of Netflix worth it for me. I wonder if I'll be able to find a physical media though, I'd prefer that.

Don't know if it's intentional, but she reminds me of the actress playing Scully in x files on this photo.

Thanks! We're actually going in august, just in time for the solar eclipse, but I'm guessing these all apply then too. I just like to prepare ahead, so that I don't need to rush with only days before the trip.

Alright, thanks for taking the time to comment. As I said, I'm pretty much already going to give it a go, but hearing people's thoughts on it is appreciated. The thing about actually knowing you're contributing to paying the people whose content you like does sound appealing.

Thanks! I've seen that there's a lot. Just haven't gotten to it all yet. Peertube especially seems worthwhile, I should get the app and check it out on a break at work or something.
