    I've been in ride shares where the driver has crossed a curb road divider or squeezed through tiny gaps in front of trucks. Going too slow sounds like a better 'bad' experience to …

    I'm not able to reproduce something like this. What prompt were you using? Asking it for today's top news gets it to use Google search and provide valid links.
