why would you ever need to drive fast. if you hold up everyone in the road then everyone’s late to work, and they can’t fire us all
they also can’t make all of us pay our taxes
I only do this whenever someone is driving hyper aggressively behind me. Only because I feel like I’m reducing their risk of killing someone on the road. It’s hilarious to see them rage from my rearview mirror.
I do something similar on my bike. If I see that there’s not enough clearance on the other lane, and that the car behind me might want to squeeze past me 10cm away from me, I will boldly occupy more space to precent them from passing at without running over me.
How do you figure? I do the same shit and take no responsibility for the stupid way the people around me will react.
I don’t force them to illegally pass me in the shoulder… I don’t slam the gas pedal on their car and jerk their wheel into oncoming traffic in a fit of rage… They do that stuff in reaction to my very benign driving. The need for other people to drive like shitheads is not my fault.
Sure, but you still contribute to the creation of the dangerous situation. When you bait someone you know has a short tempter into lashing out, it is ultimately their action and their responsibility, but it’s still not a good thing to do.
Such a clever reply someone had already done it. The edit is totally not the same thing 👍 (edit: they ninja edited out a meme image that was basically the same as the original attempt which was a copy of another poster)
You can choose to drive a different speed than the person next to you. Even if that means going slower.
Instead now there’s an army of cars building up behind you, none of them with an appropriate following distance. As soon as anything interrupts the flow of traffic now there’s 20+ people running the risk of getting into an accident. Or even worse causing waves of braking an accelerating which leads to traffic jams.
Please don’t play stupid games in cars. You’re just becoming an obstacle here and increasing the chances someone gets hurt.
Me but riding a bike.
When some asshole with a deathwish tailgates me as I am driving past a row of trucks in the slow lane I deliberately stay in the fast lane, driving the speed limit lane until I’m past every truck in sight while the idiot behind me goes
Why should I move? He’s the one who sucks.
