I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

    Yeah, sure. Like, someone finished fueling up, and they are driving toward the gas station’s exit into the road which the gas station lives on.

    As they approach the exit, they realize that if they dont stop, they can beat the incoming traffic, so they high tail it out of the gas station to beat the incoming cars without stopping.

    You are required by law to stop before entering a motorway to ensure entry is safe. People are skipping the stop and making a judgement call as they approach the place the law requires them to stop, and are instead treating it like it’s a highway on ramp/yield.

    This has been the cause of a fuck ton of pedestrian injury and death (especially since ~2010 when Obama kinda by mistake made huge heavy cars the most appealing option for automakers when he was trying to force automakers to make more fuel efficient cars [thanks, Obama!]), as these impatient fucks are generally looking at the road and not the sidewalk.

    Doesnt have to be a gas station. Any similar circumstance.

      Yeah I’ve seen people do that and it’s terrifying. In the strip mall case tho I was gonna argue for better civil engineering and fewer blind spots in vehicles when backing. But nope you’re definitely talking about pure driving like you own the entire planet.
