Lyric, Destroyer of Worlds

In high school, I did a favor for a friend and acted in an anti-bullying skit for an assembly, the gist of which was a senior girl yelling insults at me in front the rest of my grade. I walked off stage beet red and trembling, which I chalked up to stage fright, rather than what I later realized was every hormone in my body going super nova at once.

the general consensus in the notes is that if you drive the speed limit, you are:

Putting aside all this hogwash… let me, an experienced motorcyclist, clue you in to something you cagers never learn:

Oh, and for that matter, stop looking at your dashboard instrument panel to check your speed. Your eyes should never leave the road while the car is in motion.

i don’t think i’ve ever seen a more idiotic advice. if everyone is driving recklessly i should too is what you’re saying? don’t be stupid, there’s a speed limit for a reason. if you crash into me and i’m going the speed limit and you weren’t, it’s your fault and your behaviour that got you into that situation.

The reason bicyclists and motorcyclists refer to car drivers as "cagers" is you drive around with a metal/glass cage separating you from everyone else on the road. As such, you don't meaningfully interact with the environment, road conditions or other drivers. The cage confers upon you a decreased situational awareness and falsely-imposed sense of invulnerability. This leads to tons of bad driving habits like taking your eyes off the road to check your speed, text or mess with the radio.
