Does a "dog eat dog" system translates into "dog eat dog" roads?

Remember the old communist books (yes, they had SOME truths in it,
like the Bible) talking about CAPITALISM having a policy of "dog eat
dog"? Yes, nothing is more evident than that fact whenever you get
onto those mean streets.


Firstly is the issue of aggressivity. Drivers can be as mean as a
pitbull. Then the issue of them ambushing you, and then barking
(honking the horn) to intimadate you...

Why on earth drivers can be so mean to other people who are perfectly
normal? We are going to call the Dog Whisperer to see if he got a
solution to this.

I feel like a chihuahua on my bike among all those big bad dogs...

RIP!

That's true, BIG ALPHA, but still YOU have to bow to your master to
get a bowl of Puppy Chow...

My girlfriend says she doesn’t feel like a chihuahua.

She feels like a POODLE and doesn’t understand you must show your
teeth to every mean dog out there.

Of course, that aggressiveness is quickly dropped as soon as we find
civilized behavior on bikepaths and parks.

Here in the Miami Jungle we use Spanglish, which is similar to
Orwell's concept of Newspeak. We chop off and mix words, and use the
word "democracy" to mean the Law of the Jungle.

Hey Big Alpha, according to this study the top dog is not the alpha
one, but the bigger one. Hey YOU win either way...

Vehicle variables
Mass and size According to Newton’s law, the
kinetic energy of a vehicle in a collision is directly
related to its mass and to the square of its velocity. In
a two-vehicle collision, the changes of velocity for
the vehicles and hence the decelerations of are
directly related to the mass ratio. The vehicle mass is
therefore a dominant variable and has fundamental
influence in determining the outcome of a twovehicle
collision. The increase of average vehicle
mass, mostly 150-200 kg, has been significant during
the last 10-15 years. For example, in Great Britain the
median mass has increased from 946 kg to 1120 kg
between 1988 and 1997 (Rogers & al 1998). The
increase of 100 kg seems to decrease the risk of
driver’s MAIS 3+ injury in the focus vehicle by 9 per
cent on an average, but simultaneously it increases
the injury risk in the opposite vehicle by that same 9
per cent (Huttula & al 1998a).

The mass correlation is obvious in AGGRESSIVITY
ratings, but there can also be seen big differences in
the aggressivity rating between the models in the
same weight class. In the Finnish database, the
driver’s injury risk in the opposite vehicle increases
with the mass of the focus vehicle (N=110 models)
depicted in figure 1.

The size of the vehicle correlates with the mass of the
vehicle. From the point of view of aggressivity, a
larger vehicle as an opponent usually offers more
space to its occupants, greater tolerances for
intrusions and deformations, and perhaps other
structural solutions to survive. As a focus vehicle, a
larger and heavier vehicle is typically more
aggressive, but also great differences within the same
size class have been shown both in crashworthiness
and aggressivity ratings.

Hey, roads are not only for the bloody big dogs!

I think you need a trainer.
