What does car culture have to do with cars driving backward for a day?
Nothing in particular. I would imagine car enthusiasts will have the same decisions as others. Some of them will just keep cars garaged for the month. Others might embrace it and start pimping the back of their cars. All sorts of in betweens. Some might even try modes of transport they never thought they would.
On my own, petty, individual level, it might mean next time we’re doing the 10km an hour crawl in peak hour it won’t be because someone is acting like a side panel ding is a reason to not pull off the road properly
Oh and it’s for a month..
And not really car culture but broadly ‘car’, anything discouraging me being on one side of the road driving to where you live and you on the other driving to where I live always ends up net positive
I probably should not post random things on the internet lol.. 🤦🏻 there’s a lot of nuance. Obviously it’s only applied in certain areas (cities with certain congestion limits etc.).
My wife hates the idea, that’s really why it’s unpopular.. she’s pretty much vetoed it I think under a subcategory of stupidity. I say that because it’s not even my craziest idea so it can’t be that..
Hence why I posted it, had no where to spew it out and I’m trying not to lurk as much to support lemmy 🙃
Other disclaimer would have to include I think of these things generally in the midst of the most boring mind numbing, or raging kill filled times of my day. But I’d have an answer to most questions I could ever think of and I’m still in camp reversedrive.
So just know when your on that road.. there’s some idiot out there driving the other way thinking “we should be going the other way”
