I like driving everywhere but the city... **** the city lol. I mean I'd love to live close to the city but driving there is extremely difficult.

Driving is fun, I also prefer motorways to normal roads, much faster and easier when you're going along at 80mph instead of 30 as most urban roads now are

Though drivers here can be lousy, middle lane hoggers and people driving in overtaking lanes on motorways are a nightmare, though in the US it is 100x worse from what I've heard and seen, in some states apparently there aren't even any road restrictions for that kind of thing (middle lane hogging, overtaking) which if you ask me is just asking for chaos

Also, speed limit for a lot of roads here is 60, even narrow country roads unless it says otherwise

I don't even drive. Anyone else?

I just have no desire. I prefer bike and public transport.

I sold my car in 2009. Since that I've relied on public transport and my bike. Works very well. I might be biased though, as I've worked in delivery and used to sit in a van for 8-9 hours a day. I lost all enjoyment in driving.

The government voted and issued a war-veteran status to 45,000 soldiers and peacekeepers. This has been an issue as Finland hasn't been officially at war since 1945, but as peacekeepers have been in action in Egypt, Lebanon, former Yugoslavia, Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan and many suffer from PTSD or other mental problems like depression, they now finally get state-funded rehabilitation. Best news today!

Yeah, they should make it illegal to obey the law, that makes a lot more sense.

Having some sort of lane discipline system on motorways makes them 100x more safer than people being allowed to weave in and out of lanes overtaking on either side

I sometimes avoid driving on the rightmost lane if there's slowdowns from cars entering or exiting. Californian drivers seemed worse at slower traffic keep right on freeways than here.
