Just now scientists are finding out driving is fun, when we're just about ready to ban it!

Mind you, I don't think the rats would enjoy it as much if they had to share the road with the kind of rats I share it with, and if the penalty for crashing (or being crashed into) was as high.

Driving is fun until you factor in traffic, reckless drivers, and the stakes of accidents

Still beats losing train connections, being pressed in a sardine can until everyone fits in, or stop in the middle of nowhere wondering when it will start moving again.

But you can combine best of both world experiences, being compressed in a bus, stuck in a middle of stop and go traffic.
