Because our society has widely available public transit and pedestrian/biking options, of course there is no overwhelming pressure to drive to be able to hold down a job and purchase food. /s
Can’t speak for other nations, but driving is pretty much mandatory in most parts of the U.S. And the parts that have good transit and/or walkability are also the more expensive areas. Our car-centric infrastructure is very ableist.
They say that driving is a privilege. But not having to drive is also a privilege.
on the one hand, fuck you for your gatekeeping bullshit. You obviously don’t understand how nearly every developed country has built infrastructure to exclusively allow car eccentric transportation. Busses, if they exist, suck ass. Bike lanes, if they exist, are also terrible. If you don’t have a car, you can’t live.
On the other hand, almost nobody should be in personal cars. Public transportation fucking sucks and needs to be massively improved so that people like whom you responded to don’t need to drive.
edit: bring on your downvotes, I’m right and you can’t handle it.
Stopping when you shouldn’t is not driving cautiously, it is driving dangerously in disguise. Drive the way everyone expects you to or you will cause accidents.
Being cautious is correct. Being unpredictable because you’re driving abnormally is super dangerous.
The reason we have a driving system is so that everyone knows that to expect from everyone else. If you operate outside of that system you’re a danger to yourself and everyone else.
This is no excuse. If sensory issues make it difficult for you to drive correctly, then you should not be driving at all.

sorry this is a problem too american for the rest of us to sympathize about.

If you think being cautious is incorrect then you don’t know what driving incorrectly means.

Nothing says safety like being unpredictably cautious
And there’s literally only one car to keep in mind, so it’s way less problematic than a traditional 4-way intersection.
