    I keep seeing people with car troubles stopping in traffic lanes instead of pulling into immediately accessible parking lots. What goes through these people’s minds?

      I’ve pulled into open parking lots and left my car to go get assistance twice. The first time, a cop left me a parking ticket. The second time, the lot owner had my vehicle towed.

      Being courteous to other drivers has been disincentivized.

      A couple winters ago I was on a three lane highway, except several cars stopped to chain up in the god damn road blocking two of the lanes. In my Hyundai shit box I made it up the hill and stopped on the shoulder to put my chains on.
