10% slower on a 30-minute journey is 3 minutes. if i'm in the back of a taxi, i'm on my phone or reading a book or something. getting there 10% slower really just doesn't matter.
humans drive fast becuase when they're late it makes them feel like they're doing something to solve their problem, but the time savings are almost always inconsequential.
- drivebyhooting 2y agoHard disagree. Time savings from speeding comes from discontinuities like beating traffic lights. Also 3 minutes is huge if you’re almost late to a 30 minute private lesson.
- dazc 2y agoIf you arrive on time you're already late. I think a lot of problems arise from people trying to optimise their journey time so they can leave at the last minute. Any small inconvenience then leads to road rage.
- amanda99 2y ago> discontinuities like beating traffic lights Sometimes you beat them, sometimes you don't. It's not always in your favor, it averages out.
- drivebyhooting 2y agoThe average of gain and neutral should still be a gain.
- aeonik 2y agoThis is only true if they are random, which they aren't. You can also pay attention to them, and learn the cycle lengths, timing patterns, and pedestrian patterns.
- scotty79 2y agoIf you are almost late and driving then you are late. Do better next time.
- dpkirchner 2y agoIt's probably not even 3 minutes -- it depends at least as much on how many red lights you hit.
