There's was an Olympics swimming pool worth of distance between them. The driver was clearly playing with their phone, not looking out the windscreen.

Huh, I've never heard "Olympics swimming pool" used to measure something that isn't liquid. Isn't the proper freedom unit of length measured in "football fields"?

As an American who is bad at sportzball and has no interest in it, it only recently dawned on me that the reason so many people use yards to estimate distances is because of football, and possibly shooting ranges, which I also have no interest in.

How about a compromise? You use the metric system, km in specific; BUT, you get to call them "clicks" so you sound like you are in the military?

(j/k I'm also American and I only use km for running distances, not driving distances.)
