I'm shocked that area where they were traveling is so dangerous you have to choose places from security perspective. From European perspective it's crazy that you have to think about your security when taking car stop..
- havblue 4y agoCar trips can feel very sketchy when you're in the middle of nowhere, late at night, potentially with small children. Imagine a dimly lit rest stop late at night with two cars at it. Can you trust the people in these cars or is there potential criminal activity? While I disagree with the framing of the article, I do agree with the author on security concerns.
- sp0ck 4y agoI have a feeling your opinion is biased by place you live. In my country (Poland) beeing in a remote parking with other cars gives me security comfort, that I'm not alone :) On the other hand you have 54x bigger chances to get raped and 30x beeing murdered in USA than in Poland .. https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Poland/United-States/Crime https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Poland/Uni...
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoI didn't read the article, but it's not necessarily that places are dangerous. The US has many gas stations that are in remote areas, completely unattended at night, and very poorly lit. For someone who's concerned about safety, especially if they've been on the receiving end of harassment or attacks before, they will naturally try to avoid such locations.
